While next-generation technologies have revolutionized the way genomes
are sequenced, this technology possesses a fundamental weakness-the
inability to easily target specific regions of a genome. To address
this inefficiency in the workflow, a variety of methodologies for
performing DNA target enrichment are being developed and
commercialized. All methods have a particular "sweet spot" for
performance: some are more appropriate for smaller studies, where only
a few samples are being examined, while others have the ability to
scale and use automation for studies ranging from low to ultra-high
throughput. Costs, in terms of equipment and consumables, can also
vary, depending on the technology used.

You are invited to join the discussion of strategies for DNA target
enrichment with our panel of distinguished thought leaders in a live
video webinar. During the broadcast, the presenters will:

- Provide a general introduction to the target enrichment methods they
use.
- Discuss how these technologies can be applied to next-generation
sequencing workflow.
- Share data from studies that have benefited from their approach
- Answer your questions live!

Participants:

Daniel Turner, Ph.D.
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute,
Cambridge,UK

Kelly Frazer, Ph.D
Scripps Genomic Medicine
San Diego, CA
