The UCSF IHG, CAT, and CoLabs co-host the technology seminar series, where you can stay informed about the latest technological advancements from various partners in the industry.
What’s new in PacBio HiFi sequencing, and how can the latest advances help researchers generate deeper biological insights? Join us for a Lunch & Learn with PacBio exploring the latest developments in HiFi sequencing, including new chemistry, RNA sequencing applications, and bioinformatics tools designed to simplify analysis and expand research capabilities.
The session will highlight SPRQ-Nx chemistry, including its potential to deliver significant cost savings while maintaining the advantages of HiFi sequencing. Attendees will also learn about advances in Kinnex RNA-seq and recent research from the Tabula Sapiens Consortium exploring transcript isoform diversity. The presentation will also cover new bioinformatics tools designed to streamline data analysis and help researchers unlock deeper biological insights from their sequencing data.
Noelle Bittner, Ph.D., Sequencing Specialist at PacBio, and Matt Hestand, Ph.D., Field Bioinformatics Manager at PacBio, will discuss the latest PacBio technologies and applications, with a focus on how these advances can support a range of genomics and transcriptomics research workflows.
The session will conclude with an opportunity for questions and discussion about PacBio HiFi sequencing, Kinnex RNA-seq, and bioinformatics applications.
