“Seeing is Believing: Physical Ground-Truthing
of Telomeres via Nano-Imaging”
May 11-14, 2026
Long-Read Sequencing Workshop
Location: The Jackson Laboratory in Farmington, Connecticut & Virtual
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.
About
Long-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.
This workshop features sessions on:
- Genome Evolution
- Genome Regulation
- Transcriptomics
- Rare & Common Diseases
- Viral and Microbial Genomes
