Dear Miriam,
 Although QSB students know about the new implications of sequencing,
sometimes the newest discoveries are discussed briefly in some
lectures/talks before it goes to publications and become big trend. I
believe this could benefit QSB students.

Best,
Amin

*About This Webinar *

As the throughput of next-generation sequencers continues to improve and
the cost of reagents declines, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) becomes
increasingly cost-effective, making it a realistic possibility for use in a
clinical setting. In this webinar, our speakers will discuss how they see
WGS evolving as it moves closer to the clinic, highlighting the pros and
cons of a whole-genome approach versus a targeted approach. They will also
address the hurdles currently slowing implementation of WGS in the clinic,
including the lack of reimbursement from medical insurance, the need to
achieve the desired sequencing depth in the most cost-effective manner, and
how best to manage the huge amounts of data generated.

During the webinar, the speakers will discuss:

• The potential of WGS for cancer diagnosis
• Challenges and solutions for research applications of WGS
• The improved diagnostic utility of WGS compared to the current
standard-of-care genetic testing.

The panel will answer questions from the online audience live during the
broadcast.
