The Satija Lab at the New York Genome Center and NYU invites you to

Single Cell Genomics Day : A practical workshop.

Recent developments in molecular biology and microfluidics have transformed the field of single cell genomics, and have widespread biological applications. However, the breathtaking pace of technology development has given rise to a multitude of molecular protocols, commercial systems, and computational challenges.

This workshop will begin with on a practical introduction to both the experimental and computational elements of single cell analysis, with a focus on RNA-seq. We will walk through common bench and bioinformatic workflows in detail, and discuss how different approaches might be best-suited for your experiments. Finally, we’ll have break-out sessions to discuss challenges in sample preparation, molecular biology, and data interpretation. Our goal is to empower you to utilize single cell genomics in your work. The workshop is free and open to beginners and experts alike.

Come to :

- Learn about cutting-edge molecular protocols for single cell analysis

- Compare and contrast different commercial systems, alongside home-brew workflows.

- Participate in a hands-on tutorial for QC, analysis, and interpretation of diverse single cell RNA-seq datasets

- Discuss common challenges for single cell experiments, including working with clinical tissues or rare samples

- Take a tour of the NYGC labs, including our Drop-seq setup

- Share ideas, troubleshoot experiments, and ask questions

Please register in advance as seating is limited. Check-in is at 8:30 a.m. and the event kicks off at 9:00 a.m. at 101 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan (in Soho between Watts and Grand Streets) in the Auditorium located on the first floor.
