HCC Users group is a monthly meeting of HCC Users. It meets on the third Thursday of each month from 4 to 5 pm in room 109 in Avery Hall.
For April, Jiang Shu, CSE PhD Student in the Systems Biology and Biomedical Informatics Lab, will be presenting on his research on "A Large Metagenomic Analysis on OSG"
Abstract:
It is well known that exosomes play an important role in cell-to-cell communication by transferring all types of molecules from donor cells to recipient cells. The objective of this study was to assess the microbial mRNA cargos in exosomes of one type of body fluids. To identify the possible microbial species in the samples, we conducted a large-scale metagenomic analysis by using the Open Science Grid (OSG) and 4,742 microbial genomes were assessed on each of 6 samples. The result shows that, across all samples, microbial sequences consistently account for a large percentage of the mRNAs in exosomes. Moreover, through the highly efficient system of OSG, the tasks of ~81K CPU hours were completed in 17 days.
Additionally, any users who have questions regarding the use of HCC resources may stay after the presentation or join us at 4:30 pm for a one-on-one consultation with our staff.
Date: April 20th
Time: 4 to 5 pm
Location: Avery Hall - Room 109
Food will be provided.
Please join us for this fascinating talk from Jiang Shu and stay for pizza. We look forward to seeing you there!
