Join us at University College London on 21 November for our PacBio Day. Reveal novel biology and explore the power of HiFi sequencing to unlock new discoveries in transcriptomics. Be a part of the new era in genomics – break through the limits of detection and make an impact.

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 human and rare disease research

  • Overview of the capabilities of sequencing facility at University College London
