Seminar at conference: Analysis and Interpretation of Copy Number Variations in Constitutional and Cancer Samples

Register for the seminar by emailing info@biodiscovery.com

Description: In this presentation we will show how to extract meaningful information from CGH and SNP array data quickly without the need for expertise in informatics or complex statistical methods. We will demonstrate the latest version of Nexus Copy Number and Nexus DB as applied to both Constitutional as well as Cancer Cytogenetic applications. We will demonstrate the use of this technology in making high-quality calls from different array vendors, such as Agilent, NimbleGen, Affymetrix, and Illumina and how the review and interpretation process can be made efficient and streamlined. We will also show how users can create their own local database of samples to query as well as how to create and join a number of growing global consortiums to share results using the Cloud-based Nexus DB repository.

Wed, Aug 25, 2010 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM PDT

Description
The Cancer Genome Atlas is an exceptional project generating staggering amounts of data from different platforms and modalities for study of the molecular basis of cancer. The goal of this project is to make the data and results widely distributed across the community to benefit scientists as well as clinicians. A major challenge is ease of integrating and mining this large scale data to identify the underlying genomic changes in various cancers. We will demonstrate how the Nexus family of products can enable a scientist to make effective use of this data without requiring large-scale computational power or deep informatics background.
