The Gaffney Lab would like to thank the Presbyterian Health Foundation for their continued support of our ongoing mission to establish new state-of-the-art sequencing technologies in our lab.
Our newest award, titled “Developing proficiency in the sciATAC-seq technology“, aims to develop proficiency in a new method (sciATAC-seq) that uses combinatorial indexing of single cells to evaluate chromatin accessibility regulomesĀ of SLE patients and controls. The method allows researchers to pool thousands of cells while maintaining the individual identity of each cell, thereby greatly reducing the single-cell sequencing cost.
