Optical Genome Mapping Unrivaled Structural Variant Detection for Cancer Research

Presented By:
Yannick Delpu, PhD
Darren "Ben" Finlay, PhD

Speaker Biography:
Dr. Yannick Delpu is a cancer biologist with a background in epigenetics. He obtained his PhD in cancer biology from the University of Toulouse, France, where he studied micro-RNA-based gene therapy at the Centre de Recherche en Cancerologie de Toulouse (CRCT). His postdoctoral training at New York University, USA, was focused on the relation between genome methylation, DNA secondary structures and genomic instability in cancer and developmental diseases. Currently, as the head of business development and clinical affairs for EMEA at Bionano, Dr. Delpu is facilitating the scientific discoveries based and clinical studies in genetic diseases and cancer diagnostics on Bionano platform.

Optical Genome Mapping: Unrivaled Structural Variant Detection for Cancer Research and Precision Medicine

Webinar Abstract:
Join us to discover how Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) can help you in the characterization of complex samples. OGM is a non-sequencing technique that provides a high-resolution view of intact, long DNA molecules free from the bias and errors introduced by Next-Generation Sequencing. Automatically identify all structural variants, genome-wide, starting at 500bp, including complex rearrangements and with sensitivity down to 1% allele fraction. Structural variants have nowhere to hide.
