(PSA: contains frank and clinical discussion of suicide, suicidality.)
-- So, as you probably all know, my husband, who was also a DIYbio-er, killed himself in 2011. I asked the autopsy director to collect and cryopreserve a variety of tissue and brain structure samples (hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, raphe nuclei, locus coeruleus, amygdalae, hippocampus, peripheral nerve tissue related to previous EMG results -- I haven't actually laid eyes on the samples yet). I've been waiting for sequencing costs to come down, and all of a sudden it turns out I have a colleague in China with contacts in biotech at East China Normal University, so he's looking into what kinds of sequencing operations they can perform.
It turns out ECNU does a giant crapton of brain functional genomics: http://sbg.ecnu.edu.cn/na_en/research_labor.html
I'd kinda put this on the "yeah, it'll happen someday" list but it's increasingly looking like "someday" is now. Any brain functional genomics folks have advice on where to start while I refresh myself on my notes from three years ago?
Cheers,
