PacBio Genomics Seminar and Office Hours

Advancing Research with PacBio's Long-Read Sequencing Technology

PacBio HiFi sequencing combines high accuracy, long read lengths, kinetic information, and even coverage to deliver exceptional performance across a range of applications, including de novo genome assembly, variant detection, long-range allelic phasing, methylation analysis, and full-length transcriptomes. Join your local PacBio team for a seminar highlighting applications in plant, animal, microbial, and human genomic research, along with associated computational solutions.

In this seminar, topics to be discussed: 
 

  • Scalable microbial whole genome sequencing with the LongPlex Long Fragment Multiplexing Kit
  • High-throughput full-length RNA, single-cell RNA, and 16S rRNA sequencing using PacBio’s Kinnex kits
  • Advantages of full-length 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenome profiling, and metagenome assembly
  • Key project considerations for optimizing library preparation and sequencing strategies

Date: Tuesday, May 6 
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Location: Cancer & Cardiovascular Research Building, Room 1-125
Presenter: Matt Arriola, Scientist II, PacBio Field Applications Support
