Monday, November 7, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Join this seminar hosted by the Sylvester Onco-Genomics Shared Resource and the HIHG Sequencing Core to learn how you can take your science to the next level by unlocking the complexities of the cancer genome.
With the genetics behind cancer being both diverse and complex, there are many genomic deviations that need to be detected and analyzed to further understanding of the disease. Using nanopore sequencing, scientists can achieve a comprehensive multiomics insight into cancer genomes. Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a unique sequencing technology that combines scalability with real-time data delivery and the ability to elucidate accurate, rich biological data through the analysis of native DNA or RNA, and has the potential of being adapted for analysis of proteins. The ONT PromethION offers flexible, large-scale, direct DNA and RNA sequencing. The Sylvester Onco-Genomics Shared Resource is collaborating with the HIHG Sequencing Core to facilitate investigator access to an ONT PromethION recently implemented in the HIHG core.
Speaker:
Edward Sawicki
