This year, we celebrate the 20th birthday of the human genome sequence published in Nature and Science in February 2001. While the history of bioinformatics goes back much further, the technical breakthrough to sequence entire genomes, culminating in the (draft) human genome sequence was a...
When you meet Dieter, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of words he can rapidly throw your way. Dieter’s enthusiasm immediately shone through as he started talking about his teaching role: “I’ve recently been hired to spruce up the BiBC Master’s programme with...
The idea for the Cancer Genomics course started with Patrick Kemmeren, PI at the Princess Máxima Center, who was convinced that a course about bioinformatics in cancer research would be a good addition to the curriculum of the Bioinformatics & Biocomplexity (BiBC) Master’s programme. He...
Research into the role of structural variants (SVs) in cancer has been limited due to difficulties in detection. UBC members Ianthe A. E. M. van Belzen, Alexander Schönhuth, Patrick Kemmeren & Jayne Y. Hehir-Kwa explore current strategies for integrating SV callsets and to enable the use of tumor-specific SVs...
