Breaking New Ground in Telomeric Repeat Discovery – A Conversation with Dr. George Chung
In this installment of Genetics in Your World, GSA Early Career Scientist Multimedia Subcommittee member Laetitia Chauve interviews Dr. George Chung, a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Dr. Kristin Gunsalus’s lab group at New York University’s Department of Biology, about a new algorithm he has developed to identify telomeres from long reads sequencing datasets. Read Dr. Chung's paper titled, “TeloSearchLR: an algorithm to detect novel telomere repeat motifs using long sequencing reads,” published in the June 2025 issue of G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics: https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkaf062Music: Loopster Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
