About

Tricord Genomics.

Tricord Genomics brings together Mark Diekhans and associates with deep expertise in computational genomics, RNA biology, software development, and scientific photography.

Overview

Areas of expertise include genome annotation, transcriptome and genome analysis, genomic databases, data and metadata management, scientific software development, workflow automation, and data visualization. The company has extensive experience with the UCSC Genome Browser, including the design and construction of project-specific track hubs and related genomic data resources.

Particular areas of focus include long-read transcriptomics, transcript discovery and characterization, isoform analysis, comparative genomics, and the integration of genomic, transcriptomic, and metadata resources. RNA-related work spans mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, miRNAs, RNA structure prediction, and RNA modification analysis using both long-read and short-read sequencing technologies.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods are used where appropriate to support software development, data curation, annotation workflows, and data analysis.

Company members bring a track record of collaboration with international genomics consortia, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and individual research laboratories, contributing to large scale data generation, analysis, and dissemination efforts across the genomics community.

Additionally, the company offers scientific photography services, including macro photography, photomicroscopy, and image processing for research, publication, and presentation.
