Techniques will include cell culture, cytogenetic procedures (i.e. fluorescence in situ hybridisation), methods for extraction and purification of DNA/RNA and protein from patient material and cell lines and, complex library preparation processes for NGS technologies (i.e. Illumina, PacBio, MinION).
