UCL PacBio Seminar

Join us at University College London on 21 November for our PacBio Day. Reveal novel biology and explore the power of HiFi sequencing to unlock new discoveries in transcriptomics. Be a part of the new era in genomics – break through the limits of detection and make an impact. We have some great speakers, including Liz Tseng and Anna Conesa.

Highlights of the event include:

• In-person presentations from genomics scientists using HiFi reads for applications such as human and rare disease research

• Overview of the capabilities of sequencing facility at University College London 

• PacBio latest updates on RNA sequencing tools - comprehensive transcriptomics at scale

• Q&A and networking opportunities with speakers and sequencing experts 

Lunch will be provided but there are limited spots and sign-up is mandatory, so please book your space.
