Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has been instrumental in accelerating personalized medicine and clinical diagnostic applications in addition to several other genomic applications. It is rapidly becoming the method of choice in many genomic research projects. The increasing number of samples and labor intensive workflow has resulted in a need for automation. Automated library preparation streamlines the process, reduces hands-on time, and minimizes human errors.
The webinar will examine the automation of NGS library preparation using different chemistries and its applications. Dr. Oleg Evgrafov will also discuss NGS sample preparation automation and its use for neurogenic research in his lab.
A live Q&A with the audience will follow the main presentation.
Speakers
Dr. Oleg V. Evgrafov, Associate Professor, University of Southern California
Dr. Oleg Evgrafov’s primary interests are in the identification of genes involved in the etiology of hereditary and complex diseases. Currently, he focuses on using massively parallel sequencing technology for identification of specific sequence variants associated with complex disorders and investigation of transcription profiles to study etiology of complex disorders. With a research career spanning over three decades, Dr. Evgrafov has co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed publications.
