Follow two scientists on their journey of discovery using whole genome sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing to shed light on previously unresolved medical mysteries. They will share how they have been able to successfully identify the genetic drivers in disease research by accessing the complete genomic landscape, including regions previously deemed impossible to sequence.

Watch the recording to:

Understand the unique advantages of highly accurate long-read sequencing for genetic disease research
Learn the importance of both high accuracy and long read lengths for identifying disease genes as well as causative variants that were previously missed by other technologies, in order to unravel the mystery of genetic diseases like Autism and Epilepsy.
Hear how single-cell RNA sequencing using long reads allows scientists to capture full-length isoforms, helpful in elucidating isoform diversity in Down Syndrome brain that is known to carry the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Cell-type-specific RNA Isoform Diversity in the Down Syndrome Brain

The combination of long-read and short-read sequencing approaches in snRNA-seq has expanded our ability to investigate transcriptomes at a cellular level by allowing us to identify cell types and attribute isoform expression to individual cells. Utilizing both PacBio and Illumina sequencing approaches, we conducted snRNA-seq on 29 human Down Syndrome (DS) and non-DS control prefrontal cortex samples. We detected vast RNA isoform diversity within specific cell types that included numerous novel sequences. These results underscore the potential for variable isoform expression to play a role in cellular function.

Long-Read Sequencing as Part of the Pathway to Precision Genomics for Precision Medicine

We recently defined Precision Genomics as “determining all possible relevant genomic variation within an individual to the precise nucleotide.” There are currently several limitations to achieving Precision Genomics and one of these is genomic variation missed due to genomic technology. Long-read sequencing with high accuracy is a ground-breaking advance that enables us to perform analyses to assemble genomes within one day and to detect nearly all forms of variation in one single technology. In this talk, I will discuss my lab’s application of PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing to 9p minus syndrome and autism. In particular, for our study of autism we show how a SMRT grant from PacBio enabled us to shed light on an unresolved medical mystery for a family.
