Navigating the Sequencing Landscape in 2025
11:20 - 12:50 on Day 2, Thursday 30th January 2025 in the Genome Dome
The recent advances in novel sequencing technologies hitting the market, coupled with a lowering cost of sequencing and patents running out that affect the monopoly of market share – keeping up to date with the advances in sequencing has been challenging. In this roundtable discussion, we bring together leading experts who bring hands-on experience with different sequencing technologies to share their lessons learned from utilising the methods on the market, what they’re interested in investing in next, and what they think works for certain applications (and what doesn’t!).
If you have a valid Festival ticket you can turn up for this session, there's no need to sign up in advance.
Key Takeaways
- What does the increased competition mean for the sequencing space going forward?
- The trade-offs between long and short-read sequencing.
- What's new and exciting in the sequencing space today?
- Lessons learned from utilising the new technology.
- What to consider when choosing the right sequencing platform for your research question.
