Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a rapidly evolving technology for analyzing nucleic acids in a massively parallel fashion. However, NGS library preparation can be time-consuming and expensive. In this webinar brought to you by MilliporeSigma, Jennifer Silverman and Kan Saito will highlight how SeqPlex™-I Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) and Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA) kits speed up NGS library preparation, simplifying DNA and RNA sequencing for even difficult-to-sequence samples.

Topics to be covered

  • Comparison of WGA and WTA kits with traditional adapter ligation methods
  • Kit performance with degraded and low template samples
  • Detecting copy number variation with the WGA kit
  • WTA technology in RNA-seq workflows

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
