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 SelectScience® 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.
