Module 5: What are cutting-edge HT technologies?

Hello! Good afternoon!

This week we dive into high-throughput sequencing and some of its applications. We will discuss an article that will help you prepare for a new case study next week.

As always, reach out if you have any questions or if you are in need of a little grace to finish Module 5!

Best,

Your HTD Instructional Team

 

Overview

What are cutting-edge HT technologies?  We are going to start addressing this question by reviewing high-throughput or next-generation sequencing and its many applications. We will then review a single-cell genomics application and search for other uses of high-throughput sequencing, paying particular attention to the throughput and technologies used as well as the advantages and limitations.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

  1. Describe applications of HT sequencing technologies. (CO 1)

  2. Explain the methodology of a novel HT screening procedure and its utility in discovery. (CO 5)

  3. Identify and evaluate a cutting-edge screen. (CO 1, 4, 6)

To complete this module, you will need to:

  • Watch Module 5 video.

  • Respond to TopHat questions for Module 5.

  • Participate in Forum 5 for JoVE 3 article.

  • Complete second milestone for group project: first draft for peer review.

  • BIT 579: submit a draft of NSF GRFP proposals for peer review.
