Post# of 61

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced a major initiative: the development of NERSC-10, a next-generation AI-powered supercomputer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Wright described AI as "the Manhattan Project of our time", emphasizing its transformative potential in energy innovation and scientific breakthroughs.
Berkeley Lab has a QB3 Genomics facility that supports genomic sequencing and bioinformatics.
BIONANO GENOMICS is connected to CGRL (Computational Genomics Resource Laboratory) at QB3 Berkeley.
Chris Wright mentioned The case at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) involving baby KJ Muldoon and CRISPR.
BIONANO GENOMICS’ Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) played a role in CRISPR-based gene therapy development, including cases like the miracle baby at CHOP. OGM was used to assess genome integrity and detect structural variations introduced by CRISPR-Cas9 editing.
