Talk
Revolutionizing Pharmacogenomics: qPCRpowered simultaneous SNP, CNV, and Fragment Profiling.
Traditional qPCR and CEbased methods use separate cumbersome workflows for SNP genotyping, CNV and fragment length determination. In this talk, we introduce a single workflow to simultaneously profile SNPs, CNVs, and fragment length pharmacogenomic targets using buccal swabs without extraction on a nanofluidic qPCRbased system.
