While the power of whole human genome sequencing to fuel discovery is unparalleled, for some scientific questions targeted long-read sequencing can provide higher resolution of genetic variation at a lower cost. Pairing long-fragment target capture with long-read SMRT® Sequencing provides an economical way to sequence candidate genes, full-length gene transcripts or larger genomic regions of interest. Benefits of a long-read targeted sequencing approach include improved coverage, increased structural variant (SV) discovery, resolution of break-points associated with copy-number variation, and phasing of multi-kilobase fragments to resolve allele haplotypes.
Join us to learn how different targeted-enrichment methods paired with long-read sequencing have uncovered hidden genetic variation in a variety of genetic and genomic disorders.
Tetsuo Ashizawa, Director of the Neuroscience Research Program at Houston Methodist Research Institute, will present a novel amplification-free targeted enrichment method using CRISPR-Cas9 for the disease-causing repeat expansion in SCA10. Using long-read sequencing, he has been able to span multi-kilobase repetitive regions and identify interruption sequence motifs that correlate with alternative clinical phenotypes in individuals from varying ethnic backgrounds.
Melissa Laird Smith from Icahn Institute at Mt. Sinai will review her work studying the genetic background of immune response by characterizing population diversity at the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus.
Meredith Ashby, from PacBio, will present how large-insert targeted sequencing (LITS) provides a more comprehensive picture of structural variation relevant to human disease and genomic disorders, providing insights into possible rearrangement mechanisms in Potocki-Lupski syndrome and revealing subtleties in cancer biology.
