Welcome to the Glasgow Polyomics Newsletter. This is part of an on-going effort to maximise communication and updates coming from Glasgow Polyomics.

*** We welcome enquires via our website on potential collaborations, grants and projects. ***

Polyomics has been gaining interest in spatial transcriptomics projects which is a cutting edge technique with wide implications for human disease research. Spatial transcriptomics quantifies mRNA by location from fixed tissue samples that have been stained and imaged, and is another new sequencing technique for MVLS. Polyomics has run many spatial transcriptomics projects and you are interested in discussing spatial transcriptomics for your research, please get in contact with us at Next Generation Sequencing.

Here is a great use of proteomics looking at serum immunoglobulins in the Atlantic Grey Seal!

Michaela Kunzova has been awarded an EMBO Scientific Exchange Fellowship to visit Glasgow Polyomics for 3 months training on analysis of redox changes in the proteome. Implementing redox proteomics to identify redox regulated proteins during cellular differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei.

The Metabolomics team at Glasgow Polyomics has recently welcomed three new members of staff Jennifer Haggarty, Sarah Henderson and Shellie Walsh, all of whom are working on a variety of projects involving mass spectrometric analysis.

We are happy to announce that GraphOmics, our new multi-omics data integration platform, has been published and is now open to the public at GraphOmics. GraphOmics provides an open resource to integrate transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics data to Reactome’s reactions and pathways. The integrated omics data can be browsed interactively to reveal interesting changing entities and their relations to others. We are seeking more users to test the platform, so please contact us for any query or give it a try using your own data!

We have many exciting courses coming up in Summer 2022. These will include the Galaxy Course run by David McGuinness! We will also be running another Intro to Omics workshop w/c 6 June. We hope these courses will benefit researchers and give an insight into the kind of ways we can help you with your research.

We provide means and support for masters students to perform extensive bioinformatic data analyses of 'omics datasets to support their summer project. This is 100% entry level and requires no previous knowledge or experience of omics or coding. It uses the point-and-click Galaxy / Searchlight web-platform. Full training and bi-weekly support drop-ins are provided alongside extensive web-resources.
