APAC WEBINAR SERIES

Unlocking the Power of Long-Read Sequencing for High-Resolution HLA Typing

Tuesday, 8 July 2025
1:00 - 2:00 pm (Singapore Standard Time)
2:00 – 3:00 pm (Seoul, Tokyo)
4:00-5:00 pm (Melbourne)

Join us on Tuesday, 8 July 2025 from 1:00 - 2:00 pm (Singapore Time) for the first PacBio Asia Pacifc webinar series featuring Dr. Bo Wang PhD, Molecular biology from Xi’An Haorui Gene Technologies Ltd.

Accurate HLA typing is critical in transplantation, autoimmune disease research, and pharmacogenomics. However, traditional short-read and Sanger-based methods often fall short due to complex genomic structures, phasing ambiguity, and limited resolution.

In this webinar, Dr. Bo Wang from Xi’an Haorui Gene Technologies will introduce a clinically validated, long-read sequencing-based HLA typing approach that overcomes the limitations of conventional methods. He will demonstrate how PacBio HiFi sequencing enables full-length haplotype resolution, detects complex anomalies, and eliminates ambiguous calls—bringing precision and clarity to clinical HLA genotyping. Join us to learn how haplotype-based long-read sequencing is setting a new standard for immune-matching and genetic diagnostics.

Key Takeaways​:

  • Understand the limitations of conventional HLA typing methods and the challenges of resolving highly polymorphic regions​

  • Learn how PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing enables 6–8 digit high-resolution, haplotype-based HLA typing​

  • Explore real-world clinical implementation with Haorui’s TransMatch™ system and over 10,000 tested samples​

  • See how ambiguous or chimeric HLA results can be resolved with long-read technology​

  • Discover opportunities to improve transplant outcomes, reduce mismatches, and support personalized treatment strategies
