About the webinar

Long-read sequencing enables researchers to investigate genomic regions and molecular features that can be difficult to resolve using short-read sequencing alone.

This webinar introduces PacBio SMRT and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, explaining how these technologies support genome assembly, structural variant analysis, phasing, full-length transcript sequencing, epigenomics and microbial research.

Practical examples illustrate how long-read sequencing can be applied across genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics, alongside key considerations for experimental design, sample preparation and data analysis.
