Webinar: Managing Technical Complexities of a High-Throughput WES Lab
Scaling Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in high-throughput labs is challenging and involves unique caveats. It requires precise workflow optimization, efficient data management, and robust automation to ensure consistent quality.
In this webinar, Dr. Vijayashree G.R., Senior Scientist at Strand Life Sciences, one of India’s largest diagnostic labs, will share Strand’s journey of scaling WES for germline disease detection. She’ll break down the challenges they encountered, the solutions they implemented, and the strategies that made their high-throughput WES a success. You’ll also discover how automation systems, specifically Manta, an advanced DNA extraction device, can revolutionize your WES workflow, reducing manual effort and enhancing data consistency.
Whether you're looking to expand your clinical diagnostic lab or refine an existing WES setup, this webinar offers practical, actionable insights.
