FFPE Tissue and the HTG EdgeSeq Oncology Biomarker Panel: A Low-Input, Extraction-Free Gene Expression Pilot Study

Join us Tuesday, September 20, 2016 for a Nature.org Webcast.

FFPE Tissue and the HTG EdgeSeq Oncology Biomarker Panel: A Low-Input, Extraction-Free Gene Expression Pilot Study

HTG will host a Nature.org Webcast with Dr. Katherine Pogue-Geile, Assistant Director of Molecular Profiling, National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project Foundation. This webcast will look at a pilot study, which examined different amounts of tissue input from 3 colorectal and 2 breast tumors down to 3.1 mm2, representing a quarter of the recommended input. The overwhelming majority of archival samples of cancer tissue are formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE).  Many FFPE samples, especially pre-treatment biopsy specimens, are too small to reliably extract sufficient RNA for gene expression analysis.
