Development Of Long-Read Sequencing Methods Leveraging Target Enrichment

-

WEBINAR | Join live webinar on " Development Of Long-Read Sequencing Methods Leveraging Target Enrichment" on 13th March 2026 | 1.00 PM  – 2.00 PM IST.

Webinar Overview:

Long-read sequencing technologies have enabled the sequencing of DNA fragments exceeding 100 kb, significantly advancing the analysis of highly repetitive genomic regions and enabling accurate sequencing of full-length mRNA transcripts—applications that remain challenging for short-read sequencing platforms.

At the same time, hybridization-based target enrichment using complementary probes has proven to be a highly effective strategy for achieving high-depth sequencing of specific genomic regions while reducing overall sequencing costs.

In this webinar, Dr. Masahide Seki will introduce newly developed long-read sequencing methods leveraging target enrichment, with a focus on advanced workflows for long-read DNA methylation analysis and full-length cDNA sequencing. These methods are designed to improve data quality, enhance sequencing efficiency, and expand the range of biological applications accessible through long-read technologies.
