Validating Complex Biology: How Arrays Can Complement Your Next-Gen Data

Researchers need to be aware of the pitfalls that can lurk in data-intensive studies and that errors or misinterpretations in data analysis can lead them to overestimate their findings. Today the research community has a variety of high throughput methods available and the results of one method can be readily validated using a different, orthogonal technology, such as the use of real-time PCR experiments to validate microarray results. With the emergence of sequencing-based studies that require scientists to identify rare genetic phenomena using relatively new methods, it is increasingly important to complement these studies with an orthogonal technology such as microarrays. During the webinar, our panelists will: - Discuss the importance and relevance of validating data using orthogonal methods - Provide best practices advice for validating next generation sequencing results using microarray technology - Answer your questions live on air!
