Oxford Global Conferences Ltd are proud to present the 2nd Annual Single Cell Genomics and Transcriptomics Asia Congress 2014, taking place on the 7th and 8th of October, 2014 in Singapore.
Thanks to the advances in NGS and whole genome amplification technology, scientists can begin to uncover and analyse the differences between single cells. Researchers are clear that these differences have crucial implications for our health, how we are affected by disease and our response to medicine. This two day congress will bring together experts from Asia, Australasia, Europe and the USA to discuss how to fully exploit the potential of single cell analysis.
Day 1 of the event covers all aspects of single cell genomics, with opportunities to discuss such issues as how to improve the length and accuracy of transcriptome assembly and eliminate statistical noise from analysis. There will also be case studies demonstrating the utility of single cell analysis in diagnostics, with a focus on cancer and tumour research.
Day 2 will see our expert speakers discussing the latest innovations in single cell analysis technology. Presentations will cover all stages of the single cell analysis workflow, including sample preparation technology, improved methods for single cell isolation, reducing the footprint of analysis instruments and improved cell imaging and data visualization technology.
The 2nd Annual Single Cell Genomics and Transcriptomics Asia Congress will be co-located with the 4th Annual Next Generation Sequencing Asia Congress.
