The UMN Genomics Center invites researchers to a seminar on Tuesday, September 15, on high-throughput, low-cost sequencing with Ultima Genomics and its research applications. Ultima Genomics will provide an overview of its technology and upcoming developments in chemistry and wafer technology.

In this Lunch and Learn on Friday, October 23, 10x Genomics will introduce Chromium Flex Apex and discuss how the technology expands the scale and flexibility of single-cell gene expression studies.

On Friday, October 2, Biomodal will introduce Duet Multiomics, a hairpin-based technology that simultaneously captures genetic and epigenetic information from a single sample. Attendees will learn how Duet distinguishes 5hmC from 5mC, two epigenetic marks that are often combined into a single signal by traditional methods.

Please join Parse on Friday, October 9, for a lunchtime seminar featuring Steven Friedenberg from the College of Veterinary Medicine, who will share his experience using Evercode in a pilot study of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in dogs as a model for the disease in humans.

On Tuesday, September 22, Bio-Rad will introduce droplet digital PCR, including the technology's strengths and when to choose ddPCR versus qPCR for specific workflows. The presentation will also provide an overview of Bio-Rad’s QX ddPCR systems and how these technologies can support genomic research.

On Tuesday, July 21, learn how automated tissue dissociation and sample preparation workflows can improve reproducibility, cell viability, and yields. The Miltenyi GentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters offers a flexible, standardized approach to tissue processing.

This symposium aims to bring together UMN single-cell researchers to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration. The program will feature in-depth presentations from experts specializing in immunology; updates on emerging informatics strategies and single-cell platforms; a Lightning Talk Competition highlighting challenges and lessons learned; and a guided tour of the UMGC CoLab facility, which provides training resources in single-cell workflows.

This whitepaper evaluates the feasibility of the Singulator 200 to automate and standardize nuclei isolation across diverse plant species, including pennycress, soybean, corn, and tobacco. We compared yield, viability, and morphological integrity of nuclei isolated from fresh and frozen leaf, root, and flower tissues.

Researchers who purchase an Evercode WT or WT Mega kit through the UMGC will receive free sequencing, removing a major barrier to getting started and scaling experiments. Each project will deliver 10,000 reads per cell, meeting Parse’s recommended minimum sequencing depth.
