In the realm of DNA sequencing, technology developers contribute to advancement in important ways, by building increasingly fast-moving tools that untangle the intricacies of the human genome, and by constructing analytics platforms to wade through the resulting mountains of genetic data.
Recently, DNAnexus and Twist Bioscience announced a collaboration aimed at accelerating research and reducing the time to design, validate, and commercialize new, high-quality, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based diagnostic tests.
In this webinar we will cover the challenges that this collaboration aims to solve and how the partnership is poised to enable significant scientific outcomes. We will also take your questions live about this exciting advancement. Topics include:
