The PacBio team is gearing up for the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which will be held April 16-20 in New Orleans. We’re looking forward to introducing the AACR community to the Sequel System, our new SMRT Sequencing platform that’s half the price and a third of the size of our PacBio RS II System. With 5-10 Gb of throughput per SMRT Cell, we think the Sequel System will be a great fit for the cancer research world.
Presentations
Sunday, April 17, 4:15 – 6:15 p.m., Room 243, Morial Convention Center
MS.BSB01.01. Minisymposium: Novel and Integrative Analyses of Cancer Genome Data
Sun, Apr 17, 4:50 – 5:05 p.m., Room 243, Morial Convention Center
848 – Proteogenomic Analysis of Alternative Splicing: The Search for Novel Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer
Malgorzata Komor, Netherlands Cancer Institute
Sun, Apr 17, 5:20 – 5:35 p.m., Room 243, Morial Convention Center
850 – Comprehensive Genome and Transcriptome Structural Analysis of a Breast Cancer Cell Line using Single Molecule Sequencing
Maria Nattestad, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (don’t miss our case study about this project!)
We’re also hosting four Meet the Expert sessions at our booth (#257) where attendees will hear quick presentations on targeted sequencing or the Iso-Seq method for transcriptome studies, followed by a Q&A. Our experts Roberto Lleras and Anand Sethuraman will be available on Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th.
- Full-Length Isoform Sequencing: Monday 1:00 – 1:30 p.m.; Tuesday 2:30 – 3:00 p.m.
- Targeted Sequencing with Long Reads: Monday 2:30 – 3:00 p.m.; Tuesday 1:00 – 1:30 p.m.
Finally, there will be a number of posters demonstrating the use of SMRT Sequencing for cancer research or analysis tools to help users make the most of their PacBio data. Here’s a quick peek at a few:
