Webinar

Using Single-Cell Sequencing to Investigate Murine COVID-19 Mortality

On-demand

With flexible and scalable solutions available, learn why single-cell sequencing studies are no longer out of reach. Join Illumina and Parse Biosciences for a webinar where our invited speaker, Dr. Benjamin Ostendorf, Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, will present results of his recent single-cell study, published Sep 2022 in the Journal Nature, on the role of APOE in Murine COVID-19 mortality.

Webinar Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the role of APOE in Murine COVID-19 mortality.
  • Understand how accessible and scalable single-cell experiments can be using the Parse Biosciences Evercode platform with Illumina next-generation sequencing readout.
  • Get more information on single-cell workflows from single-cell sample prep through sequencing and data analysis.

To learn more read Parse Biosciences's interview with Dr. Ostendorf about the results of his Nature publication.
