Massively parallel sequencing and PCR optimised for DNA-based diagnostics and discovery [ 2012 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Daniel Park (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Bernard Pope

Brief description The next generation of medical diagnostics and discovery in disease research will involve the marriage of PCR, a tool used to amplify large amounts of DNA from small starting quantities, and �next generation� sequencing, a way to sequence lots and lots of DNA on a single instrument run. This study aims to describe methods which allow scientists to screen hundreds of disease genes in hundreds of people simultaneously with high accuracy and high efficiency.
