On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
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.
