About
Long-read sequencing offers new opportunities for assembling genomes, characterizing microbiomes, identifying structural variants and RNA isoforms, and phasing critical variants.
This four-day workshop will explore long-read sequencing technologies and will provide a forum for scientist studying technology, software, applications, and clinical research to network and learn from each other.
Participants will learn about the technology and molecular biology driving each long-read sequencing platform, their commonalities and differences, and hear about their applications to basic, translational, and clinical genomics.
Themes Include:
- Structural variant detection
- Genome assembly
- Resolving complex regions of the genome
- Transcriptomics
- Epigenomics
- Understanding disease
- Clinical Applications
- Applications to non-human mammals and plants
- Microbiome and metagenomics
- and more!
The workshop is appropriate for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and other scientists or clinicians interested in long-read sequencing.
