"Targeted Sequencing & Applications"
Abstract:
The rapid advances in next-generation DNA sequencing have dramatically accelerated the pace of collecting genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic information, and relating such information to biological mechanisms or human diseases. Efficient parsing, interpreting and managing of such information has become increasingly challenging. Targeted sequencing represent a concept of achieving a high efficiency by selectively gathering information that is most relevant to the biology. In this talk I will present a few applications of targeted sequencing with an emphasis on stem cells, epigenetics, and cis-regulatory variants.
