Shiwei Liu & Jenny Güler Publish in the journal Genome Medicine

July 6, 2021

Shiwei Liu, a Ph.D. candidate in the Jenny Güler lab, is the lead author on a recent publication in the journal Genome Medicine. According to the June 1 edition of UVA Today, " As a means to solving the problems posed by single-cell genomics, a process called whole-gene amplification is providing researchers with ways to generate sufficient quantities of DNA necessary for analysis by replicating the genetic material extracted from each cell. The process is not without its challenges, but a paper by Shiwei Liu, a Ph.D. candidate in biology in the University of Virginia’s College of Arts & Sciences; UVA biology professor Jennifer L. Güler; and others, published recently in the journal Genome Medicine, outlines an approach to whole-genome amplification resulting from a collaboration with neuroscientists in UVA’s School of Medicine that could provide an effective framework for creating new and more effective treatments for a variety of diseases."
