A beginner’s guide to DNA sequencing and its applications

English


Time: 2022/3/17
Description:

We cordially invite you to our next free webinar: A beginner’s guide to DNA sequencing and its applications.

DNA sequencing determines the order of the four chemical building blocks – called “bases” – that make up the DNA molecule. DNA sequencing has been used broadly in the life-science and medical fields. It continues to grow in popularity due to the power, convenience, and advancement of next-generation sequencing platforms. As its popularity increases, researchers continue to push the limits of current technologies to accommodate challenging samples and applications.

In this ‘beginner’s guide’ webinar, our technical expert will discuss the key sequencing principles, provide a comparison between existing and up and coming technologies and outline key advantages and disadvantages between different DNA sequencing applications to help researchers choose an approach for their research interests.

In this free beginner’s guide webinar, you will learn about:

  • DNA sequencing technologies
  • Sample types and requirements for various applications
  • Available analysis approaches

The imperative role of Next-Generation sequencing within Aging

English


Time: 2022/3/10
Description:
The aging bone marrow (BM) is an essential field of study, with an ever-growing interest among fellow scientists. The nine ‘hallmarks of aging’ together determine the aging phenotype, and based on these, continued efforts are being made to investigate the age-related changes observed within the BM. “Inflammaging” is considered as a low-grade state of inflammation associated with aging, and whilst the possible mechanisms by which aging occurs are now largely understood, the processes leading to the underlying changes within aged BM remain elusive.

Combining both the fields of NGS and aging, we can employ molecular-level applications to not only determine genomic base changes but provide transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq), as well as a high-throughput analysis of DNA–protein interactions (ChIP-seq). Utilising NGS to explore the genetic alterations occurring over the aging process within alterative cell types facilitates the comprehension of the molecular and cellular changes influencing the dynamics of aging BM.

In this webinar, we are delighted to present the highlights of the current review published in November 2021 within the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, written by Dr Shelly Pathak of Novogene Europe and Dr Payal Ganguly of the University of Leeds. The main presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

RNA-seq Results Explained: what you can expect from the
analysis

English,Archived

Time: 2022/2/17
Description:
We cordially to invite you to join our next free webinar!

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful technique for studying the qualitative and quantitative aspects of gene
expression. Beyond quantifying gene expression, the data generated by RNA-seq can facilitate the discovery of
novel transcripts, the identification of alternatively spliced genes, and the detection of allele-specific
expression.

However, without a background in bioinformatics, the analysis required can be both challenging and
intimidating. In this follow up webinar to our ‘Beginner’s Guide to RNA-seq’, we provide an overview of the
RNA-seq analysis workflow and a walkthrough of the tools and processes used to assess your datasets and meet
your research goals.

In this beginner’s guide to RNA-Seq analysis you will:

  • Get an overview of a typical RNA-seq analysis workflow
  • Learn about RNA-seq data evaluation and visualisation
  • Become familiar with various data handling software and file formats

Description:

16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing is an ultra-deep DNA sequencing method that focuses on sequencing specific target regions. It can efficiently screen variants or target organisms and describe as well as compare the diversity of multiple complex environments. The approach is frequently used in population and community microbial ecology studies, phylogenetic reconstruction of target microbial groups, identification of individual species in pure cultures, and detection of organisms of interest (pathogens or beneficial), among many others.

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides information on the total genomic DNA from all organisms in a sample, avoiding the need for isolation and cultivation of microorganisms or amplification of target regions. This is crucial because it is believed that nearly 99% of all microorganisms cannot be cultivated in the laboratory. Differently from the targeted approach used in the 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to provide not only information on the taxonomic annotations of each organism, but also the functional profiling, gene prediction and microbial interaction of the whole community.

In this webinar, we will walk you through a general analysis of both 16S/18S/ITS amplicon metagenomic sequencing and shotgun metagenomic sequencing, including their mechanisms, notable differences, applications in real cases, and limitations. By the end of this session, you will gain insights into a variety of research strategies and potential future use of the two approaches.

Introduction:
A co-hosted webinar by Novogene and IDT educating researchers and investigators on the latest innovations and breakthroughs with NGS technologies. This webinar will consist of presentations by IDT and Novogene, followed by a live Q&A session.

IDT’s Presentation Description:
The xGen™ Exome Research Panel v2 is updated with the latest human genome build (hg38) and sequence annotation (RefSeq109), spanning a 34 Mb target region of the human genome. IDT’s new target-aware algorithm and proprietary off-target analysis were used to design the xGen Exome Research Panel v2, resulting in deep and comprehensive coverage across the entire target space. Compared with other commercially available human exome panels, the xGen Exome Research Panel v2 provides an exceptional on-target rate and complete coverage of the human exome as well as offering greater flexibility in multiplexing levels. In addition, large-scale production using IDT’s synthesis platform provides a unique advantage over other array-based synthesis platforms by delivering consistency over time.

– xGen Exome Research Panel v2 is updated with IDT’s new design algorithm as well as the latest human genome assembly (hg38) and sequence annotation (RefSeq109).
– xGen Exome Research Panel v2 provides a superior on-target rate and the most complete coverage of the human exome.
– Our deep coverage and high capture efficiency reduce sequencing costs.
– Individual probe synthesis and QC ensures consistent lot-to-lot performance, which minimizes expensive revalidation.

Novogene’s Presentation Description:
The exome comprises the protein-coding regions of the genome responsible for most of the exhibited phenotypes. For example, in humans, only 2% of the human genome contains ~85% of known disease-related gene variants. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a cost-effective next-generation sequencing (NGS) method to detect protein-coding variants of the genome. The exome enrichment method comprehensively covers the coding region and identify coding variants with applications ranging from population genetics, genetic disease, and cancer studies. Moreover, this method has the capability to expand targeted content to include untranslated regions (UTRs) and microRNA for a more comprehensive view of gene regulation. Sequencing only the coding regions of the genome enables researchers to focus their resources on the genes most likely to affect phenotype and offers an accessible combination of turnaround time and price.

Description:
Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used as a molecular diagnostic tool in clinical settings. In addition to single nucleotide variations (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs), and uniparental disomy (UPD) are genetic variants/events that can also cause genetic disorders. However, detecting of those variants may not be included in a routine pipeline. In addition, although CNVs are technically detectable by WES, the specificity of detection is relatively low, with many false positive signals confounding the interpretation and reporting of such variants.In this webinar, Dr. Xia Wang from AiLife Diagnostics will discuss the important roles of CNV, AOH, and UPD underlying undiagnosed genetic diseases; explore the challenges to tackle different types of variants; and explore how the simultaneously detecting and confirming different types of variants can further increase the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
