Next-Generation Sequencing – Webinars and Online Events

Groundbreaking discoveries require innovative tools. Single-cell and spatial sequencing technologies have transformed our understanding of biology by letting us profile and visualize cell and tissue heterogeneity with powerful resolution.

This talk will serve as a guide through on how the technology has evolved, how the protocol is run at NGI and the service that they provide their users.

In this webinar, Dr Nikolai Slavov will describe how the SCoPE2 method can increase quantitative accuracy and throughput while lowering cost and hands-on time by introducing automated and miniaturized sample preparation, enabling analysis of the emergence of cellular heterogeneity as homogeneous monocytes differentiated into macrophage-like cells in the absence of polarizing cytokine.

Watch this webinar to learn about benchmarking of various approaches for complete sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 genome as well as characterization of intrahost viral diversity and evolution, and the detection of low-frequency viruses in a host's SARS-CoV-2 population.

Watch this webinar to hear how researchers use scRNA-seq to develop a working model for combinational therapeutics to delay development of ITH and much more.

Brain circuits vary widely in their connections and genetic makeup. Investigating how these two factors are related is important for understanding the complex organization of these circuits. In this webinar, Xiaoyin Chen, postdoctoral fellow in the Zador Lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, will outline his team’s influential developments in high-throughput DNA sequencing technology.

NGS tools are paramount to thwart the current global pandemic, to identify targets for vaccine development. Watch this webinar to learn about two complementary sequencing methods in the NGS toolbox.
