學術演講

Biological discoveries are tightly dependent on technology. For

example, the inventions of microscopy and crystallography have

dramatically expanded our knowledge of the microbial world and

molecular structures; the advents of molecular engineering and PCR

have significantly enhanced our capability in molecular cloning and

DNA amplification to facilitate our understanding of how the gene

expression is regulated in the cell. Here comes the sequencing

technology of the post-genomic era. What can we expect from the

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and the upcoming nanopore

sequencing? To address these questions, we need to know what the

sequencing technologies can do for us. During this talk, I will

discuss the applications of sequencing technologies in biological

investigations, especially for the studies of gene expression and

regulation in normal eukaryotic cells and dysregulation in cancer

cells. All are welcome.
