Long Read Sequencing Workshop - Virtual Event

This live, virtual workshop will meet weekly for one hour, every Tuesday at noon from April 6 - May 25, 2021.

Long read sequencing offers new opportunities for assembling genomes, characterizing microbiomes, identifying structural variants and RNA isoforms, phasing critical variants, and more. Participants will learn about advances in long-read sequencing approaches and novel applications of this technology. This virtual workshop will feature panel discussions about future opportunities for this field.

About

Long read sequencing offers new opportunities for assembling genomes, characterizing microbiomes, identifying structural variants and RNA isoforms, and phasing critical variants. 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

Personal to population-scale genome sequencing

Understanding COVID-19 with long read sequencing

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.

Scholarships: Scholarships available for this course are made possible by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, NIH Grants, foundation awards and gifts or donations to The Jackson Laboratory. The Jackson Laboratory strongly encourages students, post-doctoral fellows, or junior faculty from populations under-represented in the biomedical sciences to register, with a preference for those currently enrolled in or working at a U.S. institution. Underrepresented populations are defined by the National Institutes of Health, see NIH NOT-OD-20-031 for definitions.

During registration please include a brief statement to describe your financial need for reduced registration fees, including any employer or institutional support that may be available to you. If adequate criteria is met, the scholarship will be automatically approved and the amount due will be reduced to $25.

*Regardless of registration type, a minimum payment of 50% will be due at the time of registration via credit card. If you need to pay by wire or check please contact the event planner (contact info below) in advancing of completing registration.

Cancellation Policy:

In order to receive a refund on registration, written cancellation (via email) must be received prior to the start date of the course. Refunds will be subject to administrative fees as follows:
-If cancelled prior to 30 days from the course start date, you will be refunded your registration fee less a $10 administrative fee
