The Genome Center and Cores Newsletter | | GC-HUG: Building a Stronger Hive User Community | |
October, we officially launched the GC Hive Users Group (GC-HUG) to better support everyone using the Genome Center’s shared computational resources. GC-HUG was created as a space for Hive users to connect, troubleshoot, and share tips, so no one has to navigate complex analyses or cluster issues alone.
GC-HUG now meets monthly via Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month, providing a regular forum to discuss workflows, performance, storage, and emerging needs. In addition to Zoom meetings, the group stays connected through a listserv for announcements and updates, as well as a Slack channel for quick questions, peer-to-peer help, and sharing resources in real-time.
Whether you are a new or experienced Hive user, GC-HUG is here to make your computational life easier, more efficient, and more collaborative. Users interested in joining the monthly Zoom meetings, listserv, or Slack channel, please contact Patricia Baldrich (pbaldrich@ucdavis,edu) to sign up and get involved.

Hands-on LC-MS Data Processing and Statistics 2026
This course will provide participants with a comprehensive, hands-on training experience involving the analysis of real-world untargeted metabolomics data. The course curriculum will encompass a wide range of topics including:
- LC-MS Data Processing: Gain proficiency in the processing of LC-MS data, a fundamental step in metabolomics analysis.
- Compound Identification: Learn to identify compounds within complex datasets, employing advanced techniques and software.
- Statistical Analysis: Master both multivariate and univariate statistical methods to extract meaningful insights from your data.
- Pathway Mapping: Explore pathway mapping and enrichment analysis to uncover the biological context of your findings.
- Hands-On Exercises: Participate in interactive exercises, assignments, and practical work in small groups, with expert guidance.
Upon completion of this course, participants will leave with:
- Proficiency in LC-MS data processing techniques.
- The ability to confidently identify compounds using cutting-edge cheminformatics software.
- A strong foundation in multivariate and univariate statistical analysis for data interpretation.
- The skill to perform pathway mapping and enrichment analysis, elucidating the biological significance of their findings.
- Practical experience from hands-on exercises conducted with expert guidance in small breakout groups

Do you have a new genomics project, not the budget or need to hire a full-time bioinformatician? The Bioinformatics Core (http://bioinformatics.ucdavis.edu/ has extensive experience addressing a wide range of bioinformatics challenges, from small-scale projects to large, complex studies. We regularly analyze genomic, transcriptomic, single-cell, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data sets, and often integrate information across these data types. The core can assist from experimental design through analysis and manuscript preparation, at competitive rates. You can also explore examples of peer-reviewed publications to which we have contributed.
Along with analytical support, we offer multi-day, hands-on, virtual training workshops that help researchers plan and carry out successful bioinformatics and genomics experiments. Our introductory workshops focus on the UNIX command line as well as R and Python programming fundamentals, laying a strong foundation for new users and future bioinformatics analyses. We also provide specialized courses in bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data analysis, spatial transcriptomics, and advanced visualization techniques. These workshops are particularly valuable for junior faculty, staff, and students seeking to strengthen their bioinformatics skills.

DNA TECH AND EXPRESSION ANALSYS CORE
| | The DNA Technologies and Expression Analysis Core at the Genome Center provides high-throughput sequencing, genotyping, microarray services, and consultation. We aim to offer affordable genome-wide analyses as an extension of your lab, operating on a cost-recovery basis. Our use of liquid handling robots ensures consistency and quick turnaround. We are a designated Campus Research Core Facility. | | GENOME CENTER MENTORING SEMINARS | |
Mentoring Seminar Series
The Mentoring Seminar Series at the Genome Center is a brown-bag seminar that will feature two presentations from our talented PhD students and Postdocs, with each seminar lasting 15 minutes followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. Ideally, the two presenters will be part of two different Focus Groups. At the end of each session, the speakers will receive valuable feedback from three pre-assigned volunteers from our Academic Federation or Faculty members, providing an excellent opportunity for growth and development. And to make our gatherings even more enjoyable, there will be cookies for all attendees!
