Description:

The Genomics Core Facility at the Center for Genetic Medicine invites you to attend an upcoming information session with representatives from Covaris and Roche.

NGS-Quality DNA and RNA Extraction from FFPE Tissues
10:00am - 11:00am
Hamid Khoja, PhD, Covaris

Covaris FFPE sample prep provides a fast, simple and robust workflow solution. Active paraffin removal allows NGS quality DNA and RNA and high extraction yields. Proven results/data demonstrate 3-6x increase in yields and 10% increase in genome wide coverage for NGS!

Enhancing CpG Coverage With Greater Probe Density and Uniformity in DNA Methylation Targeted Enrichment
11:00am - 12:00pm
Teri Rambo Mueller
Field Applications Specialist - Bioinformatics, Roche

The SeqCap Epi System is a set of target enrichment tools for DNA methylation assessment at single-base resolution. This system includes a fixed content epigenome-wide design and a full range of custom target offerings, suitable for both broad discovery and focused research applications. Built on Roche NimbleGen’s proprietary probe design and manufacturing technologies, the SeqCap Epi system will enable you to revolutionize your epigenetics research. Discover more with the breadth, depth, or throughput more advanced than other technologies available commercially.

Refreshments will be served prior to the lectures.
