Automating large-scale isoform discovery at Seattle Children’s Genomics and Spatial Biology CoLab
Tuesday, January 27, at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 08:00 PST
Long-read transcriptomics is helping researchers capture full-length RNA transcripts, resolve complex isoforms, and better understand gene expression, alternative splicing, and regulatory biology. As these studies scale, automated RNA library preparation is becoming essential for improving reproducibility, consistency, and throughput.
In this SelectScience® webinar, Dr. Rebecca Martin, Scientific Lead of the Genomics and Spatial Biology CoLab at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, and Dr. Liz Tseng, Product Manager at PacBio, discuss the automation of PacBio long-read RNA sequencing workflows using the Kinnex™ RNA kit on the SPT Labtech firefly® liquid handler.
The session will explore how Kinnex RNA library preparation supports PacBio Iso-Seq® analysis by preserving full-length transcripts and enabling high-resolution isoform detection, while automation on firefly® helps reduce hands-on time and improve preparation consistency. Speakers will also discuss how these automated protocols support the 1000 Genomes Long Read Project, an open-access effort to generate Iso-Seq data from 1,000 diverse samples.
