RegisterDescription
Join us for an exciting seminar where we’ll explore how PCR is transforming long-read sequencing workflows. Discover how PacBio Revio and Ampli-Fi protocols are helping researchers generate high quality Long-Read data from even the most challenging samples—whether minimal, damaged, or tricky—opening up new possibilities in biodiversity, conservation, biosecurity, and beyond.
You’ll also get hands-on insights into the IconPCR, a powerful tool that’s streamlining sequencing workflows with real-time control and AutoNormalisation, making sequencing more streamlined and consistent than ever.
This event is all about sparking ideas and building connections among scientists keen to take their research further using cutting-edge genomics technologies—tools that are not only innovative but also locally available to the Canberra research community through the Biomolecular Resource Facility (BRF) at ANU.
Key topics:
- PacBio tech updates
- Introducing the IconPCR - the first in Australia
- Insights on the use of amplification-based preps for long-read sequencing
