What does it take to bring genomics in house? How can an exome or genome backbone help in streamlining laboratory research workflows?
In this webinar you will hear from two speakers: Anthony Beckhouse on the benefits and flexibility of the NextSeq 1K/2k, and Michael Fietz on the accuracy and speed of our secondary analysis solution DRAGEN, as well as how our tertiary analysis solution Emedgene can help address bottlenecks of analysis and reporting for rare and inherited disease research.
With Illumina’s exome or genome sequencing as a backbone, and the ability to do virtual panels with our tertiary solution - Emedgene, laboratories can now create comprehensive assays to enable the latest genomic discoveries.
Whether you are looking to future proof your laboratory workflows or bridge from panels to new frontiers of the genome. Join us to find out more about Illumina’s solution for rare and inherited disease research. No matter where your laboratory is on its genomics journey, Illumina can provide the tools and support from a single trusted partner.
The key things you all learn in this webinar are:
- How NextSeq’s flexibility and workflow benefit lab functionality.
- How DRAGEN and Emedgene can help reduce bottlenecks in analysis and reporting.
- How an exome or genome backbone can help futureproof laboratory workflows.
