D2R Breakfast & Learn with Pac Bio
Are you preparing an application for D2R | DNA to Ï㽶ÊÓƵ funding programs?
Join D2R and on Thursday November 14 from 10am-12pm, for an in-person workshop to learn about the vast array of genomic solutions available to you in McGill’s ecosystem. You’ll hear from experts from Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and PacBio on how you can incorporate advanced genomic solutions in your D2R applications and projects.
Knowledge of the human genome has been rapidly expanding and as it moves toward the clinic and therapeutic target discovery, you can begin to imagine a future where immune and neurodegenerative diseases are so well understood that precise therapies and BioPharma drug targets can be readily identified. To empower that future, genetic characterization tools are needed to not only reveal genetic variant information but also reveal complexities of the genome, transcriptome and epigenome
Attend the in-person D2R Breakfast & Learn to discover:
- New genomic technologies offered by the Genome Centre to aid you in your research goals
- How long-read sequencing from PacBio, with its multiomic platform, can provide deep insights into complex genetic information such as Structural Variants, Tandem Repeats, Isoforms and Methlyation
- How full-length transcript sequencing gives a more detailed and complete view of the transcriptome, moving the field from gene to transcript isoform analysis both in bulk and single cell long-read applications, providing a powerful tool for developing targeted therapeutic interventions, or precision medicines.
Who’s invited? This event is open to D2R community members doing Ï㽶ÊÓƵ-related research.
