TwinStrand Biosciences – Solving Genomic Needle-In-A-Haystack Challenges
Presentation by: Aaron Boswell, Associate Director of Product Development, TwinStrand Biosciences
Join us for this webinar on how TwinStrand Biosciences Duplex Sequencing™ Technology provides a greater than 10,000-fold increase in accuracy over standard next-generation sequencing by virtually eliminating background noise and revealing true mutations. We will provide an overview of the technology and some of the applications where it is being used in medicine and life sciences to help improve human health and cure diseases such as:
Early detection and residual disease monitoring in cancer
- Tumor evolution monitoring
- Immunotherapy monitoring
- Mutagenesis detection
