25,000-plex PCR – Finding the Genetic Heroes | AGBT 2015

Written by Behind The Bench Staff | Published: 03.05.2015

Bobby Sebra of the Icahn School of Medicine at the Mount Sinai University Hospital discusses the development of a 25,000-plex Ion AmpliSeq™ Panel as part of the Resilience Project, at the recent Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference.

We’ve talked about the Resilience Project before on Behind the Bench, and Dr. Sebra talks about the technical underpinnings and performance of their large AmpliSeq™ Panel. He also mentions their experience with the new Ion Hi-Q™ Enzyme performance.

A few months ago we interviewed a project geneticist Dr. Daniela Starcevic as well as a computational biologist Dr. Joel Dudley who is also involved with this project.
