  • CSHL, UCLA & Einstein to Lead Roundtable Discussions on Single-Cell Sequencing

    Open to all attendees, speakers, sponsors, & exhibitors of Single-Cell Sequencing at Next Generation Dx Summit are three roundtable discussions on the following key issues:

    Making Single-Cell Analysis Cost Effective for Clinical Use
    Moderator: James Hicks, Ph.D., Research Professor, Cancer Genomics, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
    • Methods for capture: What are the tradeoffs?
    • Combining RNA, DNA and protein analysis
    • What genomic assays are most informative?
    • Can assays be certifiable?


    Finding a Needle in a Haystack: Towards Diagnosing Rare Soft Tissue Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs)
    Moderator: Michael Masterman-Smith, Ph.D., Entrepreneurial Scientist, UCLA California NanoSystems Institute
    • Rethinking companion diagnostics for cancer to incorporate analysis of CSCs
    • Current direct methodologies of CSC detection/isolatio
    • Current proxy methodologies of CSC detection/isolation
    • The hope and promise of single-cell assay tools and technologies


    Why Single-Cell Sequencing?
    Moderator: Jan Vijg, Ph.D., Professor and Chairman, Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
    • Sample limitations, e.g., prenatal diagnostics and CTCs
    • To study cell-to-cell variation, e.g., in tumors as well as normal tissues
    • To overcome technological constraints, e.g., detecting somatic mutations
    • Cell-to-cell fluctuations in gene expression can easily impair function, yet can be undetectable by measuring averages
    • How many different cell types are there?


    The discussions will be held on the second day of the Single-Cell Sequencing Conference at Next Generation Dx Summit, taking place August 20-21, 2014 in Washington, DC. For full program details and to register, please visit http://www.nextgenerationdx.com/Single-Cell-Sequencing

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
