SUMMARY:Toward single-cell population genomics
DESCRIPTION:<p>Boston Single-Cell Network Seminar</p><p><span style="color: #68a7bb;"><strong>Guest speakers:</strong></span><br><em><strong>Paul Blainey, PhD</strong></em><br>Core Member, Broad Institute<br>Assistant Professor, Biological Engineering, MIT</p><p><em>and</em></p><p><em><strong>Liyi (Lily) Xu</strong></em><br>Graduate Student, Blainey Lab<br><br><span style="color: #68a7bb;"><strong>Abstract:</strong></span><br>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.  </p><p>Faculty organizers:  Peter Kharchenko and Lev Silberstein.</p><p>Food and beverage will be provided at the meeting.</p>
