ASHG PacBio Workshop: Long-read sequencing in oncology and population research: Perspectives and opportunities

In this presentation, Shawn Levy from the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and HudsonAlpha Discovery offers a look at his team’s early access experience with the Sequel II System. Recent work includes a project designed to improve sequencing results from FFPE samples with long-read data. The protocol is still being optimized, but preliminary results indicate that SMRT Sequencing improves the quality of data that can be produced from these highly degraded samples. Looking ahead, Levy’s team will be using SMRT Sequencing to generate about 7,000 long-read genome assemblies for the All of Us program.
