Friday, February 12, 2016 21:10: I’m flitting between sessions tonight…first up is a talk by a users of my lab, we generated the data for several hundred C.eleganss genomes using Nextera and HiSeq 2500 – not quite a 1000 genome project yet! Geoffrey Nelson Geoffrey Nelson, […]
Contrary to what you might think this post is not going to be about the sequencing technology or data being presented at AGBT this year, but what could have happened several years ago and has come to AGBT16 – real-time sequencing.In his minoTaur software demo […]
Jason BielasJason Bielas, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center “Deep profiling of complex cell populations using scalable single cell gene expression analysisâ€. Early adopter of 10X single-cell RNa-seq platform – find out more at the 10X workshop this afternoon. Initially running experiments on PBMCs and finding […]
Anne WojcickiAnne Wojcicki, 23andMe “Making discoveries on the 23andMe platformâ€. Anne is going to focus on the benefit to the consumer of the Human genome. How will we decipher it, how will we cope with massive studies i.e. tens of millions of active participants.The 23andMe […]
