How automation and integrated sample QC enhance a targeted long-read-sequencing workflow

Tuesday, November 4, at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 8:00 PST

As the demand for greater accuracy and efficiency in genetic analysis grows, new approaches are needed to overcome the blind spots of conventional sequencing methods. This webinar will showcase a fully automatable workflow that integrates Agilent SureSelect hybrid capture, Agilent automated electrophoresis systems for sample quality control with PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing.

In addition to discussing workflow, we’ll share case studies where long reads play a fundamental role in identifying genetic variants that may be missed by conventional sequencing in research studies.

Join us to learn how targeted long-read sequencing:

• Focuses on genes and regions of interest in genetic research, while reducing costs and boosting sequencing depth at key loci.
• Overcomes the limitations of short-read technologies, including challenges with pseudogenes, homologous loci, structural variants, complex transcript isoforms, splicing events, and difficult regions such as repetitive or GC-rich sequences.
• Enhances both analytical performance and laboratory efficiency through automation.

Key learning objectives:

• Gain practical insights into implementing an automated targeted long-read sequencing workflow in the laboratory.
• Identify the genetic mutation types best suited for targeted long-read sequencing approaches.
• Understand the analytical advantages of long-read sequencing compared with conventional short-read methods.

Who should attend?

Lab directors, molecular pathologists, research scientists, clinical lab technicians, and anyone running or interested in running NGS workflows.
