ABSTRACTS
Targeted Enrichment: The Path to NGS Process Efficiency
Kathleen Corcoran, Ph.D.
Field Application Scientist
Diagnostics and Genomics Group
Agilent Technologies, Inc.
While next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the way genomes are sequenced, this technology possesses a fundamental weakness – the inability to easily target specific regions of the genome. This seminar’s focus will be how targeted enrichment/capture enables a more cost and process efficient option to obtaining valuable genomic, transcriptomic and methylomic data. Whether it be whole exome or a custom subset of genes, transcripts or methylated regions, targeted enrichment allows for the economical use of your flow cell and the opportunity to process more samples per sequencing run. Additionally, it streamlines data analysis and minimizes data to be stored, as it is focused on only your regions of interest. Join us to better understand where and how targeted enrichment can benefit your research.
The Custom Panel Design Workshop will introduce the use of the SureDesign software tool to create custom targeted panels for NGS applications. If you would like to actively participate please bring your laptop.

The application of next generation synthetic biology tools to functional genomics has loosened the bottleneck associated with understanding the functional impact of the data being generated by Next Generation Sequencing. This seminar will focus on the tools used to achieve this progress. Hear about the newest features in CRISPR applications including the use of CRISPR A/I as well as single gRNAs that have been chemically modified to increase specificity and performance. Attend this seminar to learn more about the tools that will enable you to take your research to the next level.
The CRISPR Library Design Workshop will introduce the use of the SureDesign software tool to create custom CRISPR guide libraries. If you would like to actively participate please bring your laptop.
