In the US alone there are more than 300 million archived tissue
samples with approximately 20 million samples added annually.
Serum or plasma is often the only source of DNA in archived
biological specimens collected prior to routine genotyping.
These
archived samples contain a wealth of genetic information and
offer enormous potential for discovery and analysis of biomarkers
with diagnostic and therapeutic significance.
The quantity
and condition of the DNA trapped in these samples has proven
to be a significant barrier.
Recent
advances in Whole Genome Amplification have made it possible
to gain access to sufficient quantities of DNA from these
samples to perform a number of downstream applications including
QPCR, CGH microarray, STR analysis, and SNP analysis.
Advances
in Genetic Analysis of Archived Samples, an on-demand
webcast from DRUG DISCOVERY& DEVELOPMENT and
G&P addresses the recent advances in Whole Genome
Amplification that have made it possible to gain access to
sufficient quantities of DNA from the millions of archived
samples to perform a number of downstream applications including
QPCR, CGH microarray, STR analysis, and SNP analysis.
