WORKSHOP
HiFi SEQUENCING FOR MICROBIOME RESEARCH
WORKSHOP
Highly accurate long-read sequencing (HiFi sequencing) on the PacBio systems provides a deeper understanding of microbes and microbial communities. Discover how to resolve complete microbial genomes, detail their mobile elements, and understand microbial communities through better taxonomic profiling and assembly.
Co-organized with the NCCR Microbiomes consortium and the Lausanne Genomics Technologies Facility (GTF)
