Next Generation Sequencing Interest Group

The Next Generation Sequencing Interest Group Meeting is open to everyone. Investigators that are currently performing or are planning to start studies using the Next Gen Sequencing platforms are encouraged to attend. Please contact Kevin Knudtson, PhD (kevin-knudtson@uiowa.edu) if you have questions about the NGS Interest Group. 

Sample preparation for single cell analysis: Basics and beyond

Tuesday, August 30, 2022

Time: 10:00am-2:00pm
Location: Kelch Conference Room, 1289 CBRB

Single cell analysis is a powerful technique to characterize complex tissue types, identify rare cell populations, uncover regulatory relationships between genes, and track cell trajectories. From sample handling to cell dissociation, there are a number of technical considerations that influence cell viability and data quality of single cell genomics, single cell epigenomics, and single cell gene expression experiments. Join us for this seminar, which covers critical sample prep decisions and technical considerations for single cell assay design and optimization.
