Webinar

Resolving the hardest genomic regions: custom panels with PureTarget

March 02, 2026 - March 03, 2026

Monday, March 2, 9:00 AM PST | 12:00 PM EST | 5:00 PM GMT | 6:00 PM CET
Tuesday, March 3, 3:00 PM SGT | 6:00 PM AEDT

In this webinar, experts will share how they are leveraging PureTarget to develop custom targeted panels that overcome these limitations. You’ll see how PCR-free HiFi sequencing of native DNA, with preserved methylation, enables higher-confidence variant detection across difficult regions, and how targeted HiFi workflows can replace multiple legacy genotyping assays with a single, scalable approach for repeat expansion and carrier screening research.
