SUMMARY:Long-Read Sequencing Workshop - Hosted by The Jackson Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-day immersive experience designed for researchers eager to explore the full potential of long-read sequencing technologies. Whether you attend in person or virtually\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading scientists\, learn from cutting-edge research and gain practical insights into the evolving landscape of genome\, transcriptome and epigenome analysis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout: \n\nLong-read sequencing has revolutionized our ability to interpret complex biological systems\, earning recognition as Nature’s Method of the Year in 2022. These technologies enable researchers to assemble highly contiguous genomes\, identify structural variants\, phase clinical mutations\, and resolve challenging genomic regions. Beyond DNA\, long-reads are uncovering the intricacies of spliced isoforms\, epigenetic modifications\, and microbial ecosystems\, driving discoveries in disease mechanisms and evolutionary biology. \nThis workshop features sessions on: \n\nGenome Evolution\nGenome Regulation\nTranscriptomics\nRare & Common Diseases\nViral and Microbial Genomes\n\nConfirmed keynote speakers include Adam Phillippy (NHGRI) and Megan Dennis (UC-Davis). \nSubmit an abstract by March 3\, 2026: Attendees are encouraged to submit an abstract during registration for consideration as a short talk or poster presentation. \nIn-person Experience \n\nMay 11 – 13: Didactic sessions\nMay 14: Optional hands-on laboratory (wet-lab) session\n\nThe in-person workshop also offers a unique platform to connect with genomics experts and industry leaders in the field\, foster collaborative research and advance your career. \nA limited number of travel awards are available to assist trainees with travel costs to attend this event. Trainees should apply for awards on the meeting registration. \nVirtual Access \nCan’t attend in person? Our virtual format ensures you won’t miss out. Access live-streamed lectures\, participate in interactive Q&A sessions\, and benefit from recorded content available for three months after the course. \nAccommodation Information \nWe strive to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals\, including individuals with disabilities\, to engage fully. To request accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility\, please contact Erin McDevitt at 207-288-6000 x256659 or erin.mcdevitt@jax.org. \n
