Whole Genome Imaging Solutions Seminar
November 11, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Join us to learn about accurate genome variation detection using the Bionano Saphyr Whole Genome Imaging System. Case studies will highlight data demonstrating high-sensitivity structural variant detection in cancer and genetic disorders using whole genome imaging as a complement to NGS, and provide guidance on experimental design and considerations.
