10X Genomics: Sample Preparation for Single Cell Analysis: Basics and Beyond

October 14th, 4-5 pm Medical Center K-207

Presented By: Patrick Murphy, PhD

The vast complexities of biology require approaches that build a complete picture from single
cells to tissues and beyond. Single cell analysis is a powerful technique to characterize
complex tissue types, identify rare cell populations, uncover regulatory relationships between
genes, and track cell trajectories. From sample handling to cell dissociation, there are a
number of technical considerations that influence cell viability and data quality of single cell
genomics, single cell epigenomics, and single cell gene expression experiments. Join us for
this seminar, which covers critical sample prep decisions and technical considerations for
single cell assay design and optimization.
Snacks will be provided.

Webinar with Advanced Cell Diagnostics to discuss the use of RNAscope with 10X and GeoMx Spatial Platforms

June 8th, 1pm

Introduction to Single Cell RNAseq Analysis Workshop

The Genomics Research Center is hosting an informatics workshop series: Introduction to single cell RNAseq analysis. The series will have four sessions, and each session will be split into a 45 minute lecture followed by a hands-on computational workshop that builds on the information covered in the lecture. Please note that attendance to the lecture is a prerequisite for the hands-on workshop that day.

10X Banner

Single cell and spatial transcriptomic methods to understand cancer

Hosted by the Genomics Research Center for the University of Rochester

Thursday March 10, 2022 
1:00 - 1:50 PM ET

K-207 Auditorium

Patrick Murphy, PhD - Science and Technology Advisor for 10X Genomics

The vast complexities of cancer are characterized by heterogeneity across samples,
from tumor cells and tumor microenvironments to therapeutic responses. Elucidating
disease mechanisms requires a deep understanding of these complexities. However,
traditional assays and tools that analyze tissue in bulk miss significant amounts of
information and context due to limited throughput and/or resolution. Through
innovations in single cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, solutions from 10x
Genomics help researchers investigate the body’s response to tumors, discover
tumor-associated mutations, and uncover mechanisms of acquired resistance to
therapy. Join 10x Genomics to learn how researchers are using our single cell assays
and spatial tools to gain a multidimensional view of cancer.
