Laser microdissection (LMD) and whole genome amplification (WGA) are valuable tools to isolate, purify, and genetically analyze cancer cells from tissue sections. In this chapter, we describe a workflow for microdissecting small regions of interest from cancer tissue, i.e. formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and cryo-conserved specimens, and subsequent whole genome amplification by a deterministic WGA approach (Ampli1™ WGA).
