**Abstract:**  
The incredible biological resolution of single-cell sequencing has been clearly demonstrated in recent studies. By contrast, the accuracy and throughput of single-cell sequencing require improvement to meet the needs of many applications. Examples include analysis of rare cells in mixed populations and highly accurate determination of genotypes at the single-cell level. We will present a new approach for high-throughput whole-genome amplification of single cells and an engineered microfluidic system for sequencing library construction that exhibits performance and throughput advantages for single cell and standard sample types.

Faculty organizers: Peter Kharchenko and Lev Silberstein.

Food and beverage will be provided at the meeting.
