PacBio Sequencing: Tomorrow’s Cancer Genomics - Here Today
Monday, December 9, 2024 12pm to 1pm
About this Event
1430 NW 11th Ave., Miami 33136
https://miami.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CxbiDE87S2-2vxC6iv4syQRecent developments in PacBio sequencing technology have opened unique opportunities to expand understanding of cancer origin and progression. Accurate and comprehensive sequencing is required to characterize all types of somatic mutations, which includes not only small variants, but also structural variants, RNA isoforms, and fusions. PacBio accurate long reads enable researchers to explore the complete genome and transcriptome, while PacBio highly accurate short reads lower the limit of detection for very rare variants in applications like liquid biopsy research. The latest PacBio sequencing systems, Onso and Revio, provide comprehensive somatic variant detection. The Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG) Center for Genome Technology now offers the PacBio Revio long-read sequencing platform. The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester) Onco-Genomics Shared Resource (OGSR) can provide cancer-related projects with upstream sample preparation for long-read sequencing on the PacBio Revio, and the Sylvester Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BBSR) can provide downstream long-read sequencing analysis support. During this seminar, we will discuss the application and results of PacBio sequencing on studies involving full length isoform sequencing, whole genome sequencing, methylation profiling, and targeted sequencing in cancer research.
Lunch will be provided for in-person participants.
