Dr. Deanna Church on building informative reference genomes and accelerating genome editing
Deanna Church talks about her early work on cri-du-chat syndrome, mouse developmental biology (plus the allergy she developed!), her time at NCBI working on the mouse reference genome and improving and standardizing the human reference genome, GRCh38. We also get to hear about her work at companies such as Personalis, 10X Genomics, and now at Inscripta, where she works with tools to accelerate genome editing using CRISPR . Deanna also discusses finding a good mentor and a good project and how...
