The first RECOMB-Seq talk from Mangul Lab
Congratulations to Nathan LaPierre, a PhD student in ZarLab at UCLA and a collaborator with Mangul Lab at USC, on the acceptance of his oral presentation, “Metalign: Efficient alignment-based metagenomic profiling via containment min hash,” in the RECOMB-Seq Massively Parallel Sequencing virtual satellite meeting. Along with co-authors Mohammed Alser (Senior [...]
Mangul Lab publishes fifth paper presenting a novel method for profiling immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor repertoires from RNA-Seq
Mangul Lab at USC published a paper presenting ImReP – a novel computational tool that uses RNA-Seq data for rapid and accurate profiling of the immunoglobulin (Ig) repertoire. RNA-Seq data presents a unique opportunity to examine the adaptive immune system by profiling the both light and heavy chains that [...]
Mangul Lab at USC welcomes Master’s student Anushka Rajesh
Mangul Lab welcomes to the team a new Master’s student, Anushka Rajesh! Anushka is pursuing the Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, after earning a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from Mumbai University, India. She has previous research experience in core pharmaceutical [...]
Mangul Lab releases fourth paper that recommends ways to enhance rigor and reproducibility in biomedical research
Mangul Lab at USC has published our fourth paper in GigaScience, which presents our group’s review of efforts to improve scientific rigor and reproducibility via open-source data and academic software. Recommendations to enhance rigor and reproducibility in biomedical research Computational methods have reshaped the landscape of modern [...]
Welcome Angela back to Mangul Lab as PhD student
In May 2020, Angela officially joins Mangul Lab at USC as a PhD student co-advised by Serghei Mangul and Stan Louie. During her first year in the Pharmaceutical & Translational Sciences (PHTS) Program, Angela completed one rotation in Mangul Lab. Angela’s long-term career goal is to work in the biotechnology [...]
Mangul Lab submits preprint of a WGS-based structural variant callers benchmarking study
Mangul Lab at USC shared a new preprint which presents a benchmarking study of structural variant (SV) callers – computational tools for identifying genomic regions that have altered DNA and may be implicated in various diseases and disorders. Varuni Sarwal, alumnus of Serghei’s group at UCLA, is the first [...]
