Illumina NGS Applications: RNA-Seq and DNA
sequencing for genetic disease
How can RNA sequencing help you measure gene expression, identify new isoforms, transcripts,
and fusion genes? In this seminar we will show you how to answer these questions and more.
From experimental design through to data analysis, explore the latest solutions for studying the
transcriptome.
You'll learn how RNA-Seq offers:

Higher quality data, simple workflows and better value
Discover how new technologies are being used to identify genetic variations associated with
human disease. In the afternoon session you’ll learn how high-throughput genetics is
expanding the field of human disease research.
You'll learn about:

Whole genome sequencing and array-based discovery is advancing research in multiple
areas

Exome studies are scaling beyond mendelian disease and targeted panels are being
effectively used to identify statistical associations
