The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is a large consortia with many research projects focused on understanding how beta cells are lost in type 1 diabetics (T1D) with a goal of finding how to protect against or replace the loss of functional beta cells. The consortia has multiple branches of...

The Phenotypic Response of the Soil Microbiome to Environmental Perturbations Project (Soil Microbiome SFA) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a Genomic Sciences Program Science Focus Area (SFA) Project operating under the Environmental Microbiome Science Research Area. The Soil Microbiome...

Machine learning is a core technology that is rapidly advancing within type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) grant is studying early cellular response initiating β cell stress in T1D through the generation of heterogenous low- and high-throughput molecular...

Inclusion levels of alternative splicing (AS) events of five different varieties (i.e. skipped exon (SE), retained intron (RI), alternative 5’ splice site (A5SS), alternative 3’ splice site (A3SS), and mutually exclusive exons (MXE)) were measured in human blood samples from two separate cohorts of...
