About This Webinar

Both large and small changes to DNA—collectively described as genetic variants -are known contributors to human disease. The detection and characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy-number variations (CNVs) are an important research focus for scientists. This webinar will introduce two leading technologies useful for discovering such genetic variants: targeted DNA resequencing and comparative genomic hybridization which, used together, are a powerful combination for both SNP and CNV detection.
During the webinar, our expert panel of researchers will:
*Talk about best practices for applying these technologies to detect genetic
variations
*Share their experiences using these technologies in human disease research
*Answer your questions live and in real time!
