Life Technologies Workshop
March 2013 17th, 5:15 PM till 6:45 PM,
location: Grand Ballroom II of the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel
- Topic: Synthetic Biology: Solutions from Life Technologies for Developing Genetically Modified Plants
- Speaker: Shou Wong, PhD
- Duration: 20 Mins
- Summary: Synthetic Biology is an emerging discipline at the interface of engineering and biology. Generating transgenic plants is key to introducing new crop traits and carrying out gene studies, both in discovery and applied settings. The development of genetically modified plants often requires a complex design of DNA elements to achieve optimum expression effects. Life Technologies offers solutions for genome editing, cloning, DNA assembly, amplification and analysis
- Topic: Ion Proton Sequencer: Democratizing Whole-genome Sequencing for Laboratories Around the World
- Speaker: Kris Ridley, PhD
- Duration: 15 Mins
- Summary: The new Ion Proton™ Sequencer will go further than the Ion PGM platform. With chip densities up to 1,000-fold greater than the Ion PGM™ Sequencer, the Ion Proton™ Sequencer will put whole-genome sequencing within the reach of any lab. The Ion Proton™ System removes the high cost and complexity of today’s genome-scale sequencing, bringing it to your lab, on your budget, and on your schedule.
- Topic: “Ion Proton: Interrogating Complex Transcriptomes by RNA-Seq”
- Speaker: Evgeny Glazov, PhD
- Duration: 20 Mins
- Summary: Increasing throughput and read lengths, as well as decreasing costs of experiments make Ion Proton an attractive tool for interrogating complex transcriptomes of model and non-model organisms using RNA-seq. Here we review state-of-the-art applications of the RNA-seq, including whole-transcriptome, small RNA profiling, as well as data analyses approaches
- Topic: “Digital PCR Overview & it’s Application to Plant Research”
- Speaker: Giambattista Selvaggi
- Duration: 20 Mins
- Summary: Digital PCR is a powerful technique for the absolute quantitation of nucleic acid. The speaker will provide an overview of the technique, it’s application to plant research and the digital and qPCR solutions provided by Life Technologies for plant research.
