报告简介：Sequencing the human genome took 13 years to complete. The same sequencing effort can now be done in days. The increased sequening capability has allowed increased resolution, like the sequencing of single cells. However current sequencing technologies suffer from a higher error rate and often requires amplification of the input DNA or RNA, which introduces errors like nucleotide substitutions and an amplification bias where some molecules amplifies better than other. Here I will introduce my work in developing the Unique Molecular Identifier to both correct for errors and the amplification bias. I will also discuss my work with amplification-free sequencing of cell-free DNA in the setting of Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnostics as well my efforts to understand RNA isoforms in single cells.
