The Genome Technology Club takes place every other Thursday at 11:00 am, unless specified otherwise.
Program: The Genome Technology Club will have its focus on recent technical development in Genomics. The aim is to keep us up to date as the field expands and it becomes more difficult to catch up with the literature.
Outstanding researchers from academia and industry will be invited to give talks at the Genome Technology Center. In addition, researchers at Stanford will evaluate recent scientific papers from international journals in talks limited to 30 minutes.

We need to be informed about the title of your talk at least one week before your talk.
Location: The seminars take place at the seminar room, Stanford Genome Technology Center. [maps/directions]

Real-time PCR is the most sensitive technique for biomolecular detection. Today we measure the expression of key genes in individual cells with 10% accuracy. Tomorrow we have the human genome on a real-time PCR microchip.
