During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
PacBio provides the most comprehensive view of human genomes and transcriptomes. Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) sequencing delivers long continuous reads, high consensus accuracy, uniform coverage and epigenetic characterization. Kevin will be discussing the latest developments to the PacBio® technology including highlighting the dramatic results of genome sequencing using 99.9% accurate (QV30) >10kb reads. You’ll learn how this revolutionary approach boosts yields, streamlines analysis and allows for simultaneous SNV, InDeL and SV detection with phasing all on a single platform. He’ll also delve into how these changes affect full length isoform sequencing and targeted (amplicon) approaches.
