Zena Kassir
APJ Technical Applications ScientistZena graduated from the University of New South Wales, Australia in 2014 with a PhD in Molecular Biology. Her PhD research focused on epigenetics in colorectal cancer – specifically in characterizing of a highly dysregulated colorectal cancer biomarker genes. She worked as a researcher at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research for many years in the oncology field, before moving to the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics – a next generation core facility at UNSW which houses the entire suite of Illumina instruments and services the sequencing needs of both researchers and clinicians. She joined Illumina as a Technical Applications Scientist late last year.
- Webinar Abstract
Continuing on from Zena’s last webinar on RNA seq, this webinar will discuss best practices for Illumina’s TruSeq RNA kits, this webinar will review sample preparation kit options for total, mRNA and targeted RNA sequencing projects and then will focus on TruSeq RNA v2, TruSeq Stranded mRNA, and TruSeq Stranded Total RNA discussing best practices of bead handling, quantification methods, library QC, and troubleshooting.
We assume a basic understanding of Illumina sequencing technology, but no prior knowledge of RNA sequencing is required. This webinar is aimed at both new and experienced users with a basic understanding of Illumina Sequencing technology and workflow.
