Roche Applied Science in collaboration with 454 Life Science presents:

Breakthrough Science with Innovative Products for Genome Sequencing and qPCR

This workshop will introduce the Genome Sequencer System and the LightCycler(R) 480 Real-Time platforms and some recent projects that have been completed using these platforms.

The Genome Sequencer System:

* Comparison of 454 and Sanger methods to sequence a 1.5 Mb BAC tile from the African cultivated rice, Oryza glaberrima - Rod A. Wing, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Arizona Genomics Institute, Department of Plant Sciences, University of Arizona

* Transcriptome sequencing with 454 technology at Joint Genome Institute (JGI) - Feng Chen, Ph.D., Group Leader, Technology Development, DOE Joint Genome Institute

* Distinct populations of primary and secondary effectors during RNAi in C. elegans - Julia Pak, Ph.D., Andrew Fire Laboratory, Stanford University School of Medicine

* Maize transcriptome sequencing with 454: applications in large scale gene discovery, annotation and polymorphism identification- W. Brad Barbazuk, Ph.D., Assistant Member and Principal Investigator, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center

LightCycler(R) 480 Plate-Based Real-Time PCR System

* Validating Microarray Results with qRT-PCR using Universal ProbeLibrary - Dr. Winston Patrick Kuo, Harvard Medical School
