Presentations (starting from 10:00)
Nucleic Acid Purification for NGS
Pure DNA and RNA are essential for a successful NGS run. Join this talk to learn how Zymo Research’s solutions can help you to extract nucleic acids of the highest possible quality, ensuring successful sequencing while saving you time and money.
Speaker: Dr. Thomas Ammann (Lucerna-Chem AG)
The Next Generation of Transposase: How TnXTM is Powering Innovation in DNA Library Prep
Description: seqWell’s TnXTM transposase is a next-generation transposase developed through directed enzyme evolution. TnX improves on many of the limitations of Tn5 transposase by offering enhanced data quality, versatility, and reliability with reduced insertion-site bias and improved coverage uniformity. We have now developed several new library pep methods utilizing TnX, including the rapid and high-throughput ExpressPlex 2.0TM kit and the high-complexity MosaiXTM prep designed for challenging library preparation needs.
Speaker: Dr. Maura Costello (SeqWell)
