This webinar discusses a proximity ligation-based method for studying structural variation in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue.

FFPE tissue produces highly fragmented, low-molecular weight nucleic acids, presenting a principal challenge to identifying relevant genetic variants with tumor sequencing. This sub-optimal input specimen was previously not thought to contain long-range (Mbp+) information needed to accurately and robustly identify balanced and unbalanced large-scale structural variation and phasing from these specimens.
