NGS has been a major driving force behind advancements in the way we analyze gene expression, regulation, and variation that contributes to biological phenomena and human health. The technologies powering NGS as well, as new applications developed for their use, are continually evolving. To educate and inform our customers about the latest advancements in NGS, we have put together webinars featuring our R&D scientists and occasional guest speakers.
In this webinar, Dr. Nathalie Bolduc (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) presents data from the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian, which generates Illumina-ready sequencing libraries from 250 pg–10 ng mammalian total RNA inputs of any quality, including FFPE samples.
Pico-input strand-specific total RNA-seq for mammalian samples
In this webinar, Dr. Nathalie Bolduc (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) presents data generated with the SMARTer smRNA-Seq Kit for Illumina. This kit generates high-quality, Illumina-ready sequencing libraries from 1 ng–2 µg of total RNA or enriched small RNA, and can be used to analyze the expression of diverse small RNA species, including miRNAs and piRNAs.
In this webinar, Dr. Nathalie Bolduc (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) discusses the DNA SMART ChIP-Seq Kit. This kit generates Illumina sequencing libraries, in a ligation-independent manner, from low-input single-stranded and double-stranded ChIP DNA.
In this webinar, Dr. Rachel Fish (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) presents data generated with SMARTer Target RNA Capture for Illumina. This kit is a complete system designed to generate cDNA from enriched total RNA, allowing researchers to improve sequence coverage, identify rare gene fusions, and save costs with a targeted RNA-seq approach.
In this webinar, Dr. Liang Wang (Professor of Pathology and Molecular Genetics, Medical College of Wisconsin) shares insights from his recent work using ThruPLEX technology for next-generation sequencing of cell-free DNA to identify biomarkers for prostate, lung, and colon cancers.
In this webinar, Jo Vandesompele, PhD and chief scientific officer at Biogazelle, will discuss the performance of the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian with various human biofluids and extracellular vesicles (EVs) purified from these biofluids.
