Fast answers and the most complete view: 24-hour whole-genome sequencing with Oxford Nanopore
)
Join us for an introduction to the new 24-hour human whole-genome sequencing workflow — a fast, comprehensive solution for clinical research in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Our expert speakers will guide you through the streamlined workflow, which enables thorough calling and phasing of small and large variants across the genome — from single nucleotide variants to complex structural variants and repeat expansions — as well as capturing methylation information from a single dataset.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- How the Oxford Nanopore 24-hour genome workflow enables you to go from sample to answer in 24 hours, and offers the most complete view of the genome available today
- How to prepare blood research samples and rapidly sequence them with a PromethION device
- How to analyse your data using the EPI2ME human variation workflow, wf-human-variation, and prepare your dataset for tertiary analysis
- Where to find relevant resources for this workflow online.
Register your details below to join us online on 25 November at 4pm (GMT) / 8am (PST) / 11am (EST). The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
