Reserve your seat for our workshop: 

ADDRESSING HIDDEN HERITABILITY THROUGH LONG READ SINGLE MOLECULE, REAL-TIME (SMRT®) SEQUENCING 

Please attend our workshop to learn how having access to previously hidden structural variants and SNVs unique to a population, disease, or individual will increase our understanding of genetic diversity and open new frontiers to explore human health and disease. Register in advance as seats are limited.

Date/Time:
Wednesday, October 7
1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., EDT


Location:
Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel, Chesapeake Ballroom I/II/III, 3rd Floor
