Overview


Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer research by facilitating the discovery of novel cancer-related genes, advancing our comprehension of tumor heterogeneity, and identifying crucial alterations that drive tumorigenesis. In this Bench Tip Webinar, we will discuss how this influential technology continually refines our understanding of complex diseases and offers fresh perspectives in cancer genomics.

By participating in this webinar, attendees will learn about cutting-edge research such as chromatin regulation in cancer therapy, resistance mechanisms in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), and single-cell multi-omic profiling for liposarcoma progression. Important techniques like ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, scRNA-seq, and more will be covered, showcasing how they contribute to critical insights in cancer biology. Presenters will also share valuable strategies and practical tips for harnessing the power of NGS for your own cancer investigations.

You will learn about:
  • Guidance on using genomics in cancer research, including design and analysis
  • Exploring chromatin and transcription factors in breast cancer through modern techniques
  • Investigating differentiation rewiring in MDS and mechanisms of treatment resistance
  • Using single-cell multi-omic profiling to uncover diversity and networks in liposarcoma
Valuable for those interested in:
  • Cancer genomics and epigenomics
  • NGS and genomics technologies
  • Single-cell analysis and its application in tumor heterogeneity
  • Biomarker discovery and validation
  • Stem cell research and its implications in disease treatment
