IN-PERSON EVENT
Edinburgh Revio Launch Day
IN-PERSON EVENT
Join us at the University of Edinburgh on 10 November for our PacBio Revio Launch Day. With the Revio system, highly accurate long-read sequencing (HiFi sequencing) is ready to scale to support large studies and develop new areas of research.
Sign up today and be ready to discover how the Revio system truly unleashes the power of HiFi sequencing.
Registration is free but mandatory. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Highlights of the event include:
In-person presentations from genomics scientists using HiFi reads for applications such as whole genome sequencing, Iso-Seq analysis, metagenomics, and single-cell sequencing
Overviews of the capabilities of the Revio system and the Edinburgh Genomics sequencing facility
Q&A and networking opportunities with speakers and sequencing experts
10:00 - Registration opens
10:30 - Javier Santoyo and Gavin Boothroyd
