The Power of Microfluidics: Enabling Genetics and Genomics Research
|
| Description: |
Jason T. McKinney, Application Scientist, Fluidigm
LOCATION: SMITH BUILDING ROOM 308/309, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Hosted by Thomas Westerling/Myles Brown Lab
Through the use of what is now the well-established field of Microfluidics (the handling and manipulation of nano- and picoliter fluid volumes), research in genetics and genomics is being revolutionized. The Fluidigm technology enables experimental design and execution previously considered impractical, if not impossible. Following a brief introduction to the core Fluidigm technology, we will introduce some of the more exciting work being done: SNP Genotyping with emphasis on economy-of-scale cost benefits (reagents and labor); traditional gene expression with a focus on Single-Cell studies; Digital PCR (limiting dilution quantitative mutant allele determination); and an exciting workflow for Next Generation Sequencing complete sample library preparation.
