About the Talk
Hi-C for genome-wide detection of enhancer-donating rearrangements in routine clinical biopsies of lymphoid cancers
Thursday, March 6, 2025
11:25 am – 11:40 am
Translational Session I
The Franklin Institute & Virtual
During this short talk, Anthony Schmitt, PhD, SVP of Science, will discuss the following topics:
- Hi-C on FFPE biopsies detects common and rare enhancer-hijacking events in lymphoid cancers, offering clinical insights.
- The method corroborates FISH results and uncovers novel genomic alterations with potential clinical relevance.
- Hi-C provides genome-wide identification of gene fusions and topological interactions in routine clinical samples.
