Abstract
The CytePicker module built into the RareCyte CyteFinder instrument allows researchers to easily retrieve individual cells from microscope slides for genomic analyses, including array CGH, targeted sequencing, and next-generation sequencing. Here, we describe the semiautomated retrieval of CTCs from the blood processed by AccuCyte (see Chapter 13) and amplification of genomic DNA so that molecular analysis can be performed.
