#169 Cytogenomics with Phase Genomics
Kira DineenEpisode Description
On this week’s episode of DNA Today, we are joined by 2 scientists from Phase Genomics.
Dr. Ivan Liachko is the Founder and CEO of Phase Genomics and has worked in the genetic/genomic research field for over 20 years. He has authored over 20 peer reviewed papers and created multiple patents specializing in the field of microbial genomics and synthetic biology. Dr. Liachko is one of the original inventors of the Hi-C assembly and metagenomic deconvolution and has over a decade of experience in scientific management and mentorship. He received his PhD from Cornell University.
Our other guest is Dr. Stephen Eacker, VP of Research and Development for Phase Genomics, who is also a lifelong scientist. Prior to starting his role as VP, he served as a Senior Research Scientist and was part of the faculty at Johns Hopkins University where he was the Principal Investigator of a laboratory focused on using the ribosome as a platform for understanding neurobiology. He received his PhD from the University of Washington in Genome Sciences/Genomics.
On This Episode We Discuss:
Next generation cytogenomic technologies like CytoTerra and OncoTerra
Why ultra-long-range sequencing is advantageous compared to other approaches
Types of chromosomal abnormalities that can be identified with this technology
Identifying genetic changes that lead to pregnancy losses and how identifying these changes can help with future pregnancies
How researchers can get early access to CytoTerra
Interested in today’s episode topic? Watch this webinar from Phase Genomics about next generation cytogenomics for reproductive genetics and oncology, and read this press release about Phase Genomics’ new platform to detect chromosomal abnormalities.
