10X Genomics: Sample Preparation for Single Cell Analysis: Basics and Beyond
October 14th, 4-5 pm Medical Center K-207
Presented By: Patrick Murphy, PhD
The vast complexities of biology require approaches that build a complete picture from single
cells to tissues and beyond. Single cell analysis is a powerful technique to characterize
complex tissue types, identify rare cell populations, uncover regulatory relationships between
genes, and track cell trajectories. From sample handling to cell dissociation, there are a
number of technical considerations that influence cell viability and data quality of single cell
genomics, single cell epigenomics, and single cell gene expression experiments. Join us for
this seminar, which covers critical sample prep decisions and technical considerations for
single cell assay design and optimization.
Snacks will be provided.
