About the blog
This blog will be a record of projects completed both professionally and in my spare time. It will be about programming, my discoveries, and biology. I started this blog to figure out static web programming. It’s a little something that’s still developing into something else.
Commenting system
You will only be able to comment on this site if you have a github account. Github isn’t something that everyone is registered to, but getting comments to work as it is took a decent amount of trial and error. I’ll eventually try adding a system where you can be anonymous.
About me: Shayonendra N. Tagore
Graduated from National University of Singapore with an M.Sc in Molecular Biology and Stony Brook University with a B.Sc. I am increasingly fond of programming, and picked up R, Python, and Bash.
My studies have covered a relatively broad spectrum of biology. My most recent project was to develop an approach to using a CRISPR-KO library with a migration assay, as can be read in my first post.
In my spare time, I mess with whatever catches my fancy; reading, piano, tech, or my camera. More often than not, I'm on my computer trying to find new ways of wrecking my system.
If you want to reach me, my handle online is SNTag.

- NUS Thesis: Pathway Mechanisms For Cancer Cell Migration Through CRISPR-KO And scRNA-Seq
Genome-wide loss of function (LOF) screens via siRNA knockdown or CRISPR-knockout (CRISPR-KO) have successfully identified genes required for cancer cell viability. Most cancer fatalities, however, are from metastases, and it would be extremely valuable to identify genetic markers that contribute to tumour metastasis.... (CONTINUED IN PAPER)
