Extracting meaningful multi-omic insights from DNA and RNA sequencing data generated from challenging clinical specimens remains a common obstacle in biomarker-driven research and clinical trials. In this webinar, the featured speakers will discuss how nucleic acid yield and quality influence NGS success, review practical considerations when working with challenging clinical specimens and explain why FFPE remains one of the most important and challenging sample types for integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis.
Through real-world examples, attendees will gain insights into approaches to maximize data generation, improve assay success rates and support confident decision-making in precision medicine programs.
Register for this webinar to learn how NGS Data quality can be maximised across challenging clinical samples, including FFPE specimens.
