Paul Valdmanis, PhD
Associate Professor, Medical Genetics at University of Washington
Illuminating the Dynamics of Tandem Repeat Expansions Using Long-Read Sequencing
In this seminar, Dr. Valdmanis will discuss how his lab leverages long-read sequencing to uncover the mechanisms driving tandem repeat expansions, which underlie over 50 neurological disorders. He will also highlight how these approaches are used to identify population-specific repeat expansions undergoing positive selection.
