IN-PERSON EVENT

PacBio Data Day Bern

Wednesday 22 January 2025
09:15–17:30 CET
Hallerstrasse 6, Bern 3012

The Next Generation Sequencing Platform (NGSP) at the University of Bern has had an incredible year. The vast amount of high-quality data generated using the PacBio Revio System has been a game-changer for the community, but it’s also sparked important questions about data analysis, tools, and pipelines.

To address these questions and foster collaboration, we’re excited to invite you to the Bern Data Day—an event dedicated to discussing, sharing, and learning from PacBio sequencing data.

This event is designed for bioinformaticians, researchers, and sequencing enthusiasts who work with PacBio data. Our focus will be on the technical aspects of data analysis, including:

Comparability: Insights into how Revio data stacks up against Sequel IIe Structure & outputs: Reviewing folder structures, pipelines, and output formats
Tools in action: A closer look at PacBio tools and support available for analysis

Please note registration is required.
