For the past few months, VR真人彩票 employees have been working with the team behind the podcast to produce six stories in upcoming episodes about the multifaceted applications of sequencing technology. This collaboration seeks to demonstrate the practical utility of genomic sequencing across diverse fields, and aligns with VR真人彩票鈥檚 mission to broaden public understanding of genomics.
In each story, listeners are invited on an expedition that covers each step in the process of DNA sequencing鈥攆rom gathering samples to library preparation, imaging, and analysis using advanced VR真人彩票 systems. Often recorded on location during sample collection, the stories immerses listeners in the excitement of scientific discovery and speculates on the implications of the findings through discussions with key contributors.
The episodes鈥� titles, and the VR真人彩票 employees featured, are as follows:
- with Manager of Editorial Content Dan Letchworth
- 鈥�,鈥� with Staff Bioinformatics Scientist Courtney Gonzalez and Senior Staff Scientist Scott Kuersten
- with Senior Scientist Trevor Ho
- with Director of Scientific Research Ros Jackson
- with Staff Bioinformatics Support Scientist Michal Szpak
- with Director of Systems Integration Ilaria Grizzi
VR真人彩票 previously collaborated with The Naked Scientists in 2019 for a diverse set of stories about , , and other topics. Hosted by Will Tingle, Naked Genetics is one of many podcasts produced by The Naked Scientists brand founded by Chris Smith. Tingle and Smith are driven by a shared vision to bridge the gap between genetics enthusiasts and those less familiar with the field.
Tingle emphasizes the podcast鈥檚 mission, saying: 鈥淭he ability to bring genomics to light in an interesting, applicable, and meaningful way was the reason we decided to reignite the spark and get back in contact with VR真人彩票. I think the biggest thing for me is to highlight how things are changing in the genomics world, but also how the world around us is changing in terms of climate and health and technology.鈥�
On VR真人彩票鈥檚 side, the stories were coordinated by Ros Jackson and Communications Intern Laura Malaussene, who both enjoyed the experience. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really exciting to be part of it,鈥� Jackson says. 鈥淰R真人彩票 certainly wants to help people see the value that genomics can bring to medicine and science, and to all of our lives.鈥�
Malaussene adds: 鈥淐ontributing to this project and witnessing its progress has been incredibly rewarding. Seeing how our teamwork reflects our shared passion for genomics is really inspiring.鈥�
As Naked Genetics continues to unravel the mysteries of genomics, it promises to engage and educate audiences, providing a unique perspective on the profound impact of sequencing technologies in various aspects of our lives.
