This week, we celebrate with our GIS colleagues who were conferred various awards for their distinguished service and significant contributions to A*STAR and Singapore. Our heartiest congratulations to the following awardees!

The brainchild of researchers at A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS), Bambu can detect both known and previously unidentified gene patterns with high precision 🔍 Find out how Bambu helps address a critical limitation in traditional methods for measuring gene activity ⬇️ bit.ly/4emyKq3

Congratulations to Jonathan Göke on achieving the Young Scientist Award, which recognizes young researchers who are actively engaged in R&D in Singapore and have shown great potential to be world-class researchers in their field. Read more about his work: psta.gov.sg/young-scientis…

Many thank to my team members and collaborators, without them this would not have been possible!

Meet the latest recipient of the Young Scientist Award: Jonathan Göke, Senior Principal Scientist at A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS)! 🏅 Göke was recognised for his pioneering work in developing computational methods for long read RNA sequencing data. 🔍bit.ly/3zFns0x

Congratulations Jonathan Göke Dr Jingmei Li from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS), recipients of the 2024 A*STAR Fellows for their outstanding contributions, leadership and impact on the local and international scientific community! 🏅🧪🧬💻

Very happy to release the single cell and spatial long read RNA seq module for our transcript discovery and quantification tool Bambu (Bambu-clump)! The key challenges were dimensionality and accurate estimation of transcript expression with minimal data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The recommended way to run bambu-clump is through the nextflow pipeline (bambu-pipe), which optimises barcode detection, alignment, transcript discocery and quantification, and it also includes an option to identify fusion transcripts in single cells github.com/GoekeLab/bambu…

Great to see this software tool that enables long-read single cell and spatial transcriptomics!

Congratulations to our Bambu team: Jonathan Göke, Andre Sim, Min Hao Ling, Ying Chen, Sui Yue, and JayShin on the release of their new single-cell and spatial long-read RNA-seq module for Bambu!
