Abstract

Join us to discover how Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) can help you in the characterization of complex samples. OGM is a non-sequencing technique that provides a high-resolution view of intact, long DNA molecules free from the bias and errors introduced by Next-Generation Sequencing. Automatically identify all structural variants, genome-wide, starting at 500bp, including complex rearrangements and with sensitivity down to 1% allele fraction. Structural variants have nowhere to hide.

Learning Objectives

Explain how Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) overcomes the limitations of NGS addressing cancer samples
Demonstrate the OGM value proposition in identifying actionable/druggable events in cancer
Master the characterization of solid tumor samples to glean a deeper understanding of the complex tumor genetic landscape

Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
