WEBINAR

Powering the Future of ALS Research with Long-Read Sequencing

  Americas/Europe broadcast: June 18, 9:00 AM PDT | 5:00 PM BST
  Asia-Pacific broadcast: June 20, 10:00 AM SGT

Long-read sequencing is transforming neurodegenerative disease research by enabling the detection of complex genetic variants such as structural variations, repeat expansions, and epigenetic features.

In this webinar, Target ALS will share why they chose PacBio HiFi sequencing for sequencing up to 6,000 genomes in the largest ALS genomics study to date. Learn how HiFi long-read data is revealing hidden variants missed by short reads—and how open access to this data is accelerating global ALS research.

Register to:

  • Gain insight into the goals, scope, and scientific potential of the largest long-read ALS genomics initiative to date.
  • Learn how PacBio HiFi sequencing was selected for its unique ability to detect complex variants — critical for advancing ALS research.
  • Discover solutions that deliver the accuracy, throughput, and scalability required for population-scale studies.

Be sure to stick around for the live Q&A after the presentation to get your questions answered!
