Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) provides comprehensive genomic information about disease, development, and other biological processes. Though the NGS workflow has been vastly simplified, there are still technical aspects required for a successful experiment. Sample preparation remains a critical step for optimal results from NGS. This webinar provides information about: (1) techniques for nucleic acid extraction (2) instruments for nucleic acid extraction and their workflow (3) Tips and tricks for good quality sample extracts.
