Takara Live Webinar: Total RNA sequencing of liquid biopsies Thursday, March 26, 2020, 10:30 AM CET

March 24, 2020

RNA profiling has emerged as a powerful tool to investigate the biomarker potential of human biofluids. However, despite enormous interest in extracellular nucleic acids, RNA sequencing methods to quantify the total RNA content outside cells are rare. In this webinar, Jo Vandesompele, PhD – CSO at Biogazelle, will discuss the performance of the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq […]
