GENEWIZ WEEK 2023 WORKSHOP
Using Sanger to Complement ONT Whole Plasmid Sequencing
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Recent advances in long-read technology have enabled rapid and efficient sequencing of entire plasmids. Many scientists are leveraging this rapid ONT approach to provide full sequence maps of their plasmid constructs compared to single or 2X Sanger coverage of insert sequences.
Our team will introduce ONT technology for full plasmid sequencing and its known limitations, as well as offer recommendations for designing a Sanger-based complementary sequencing approach for varying ONT projects. During the roundtable portion, we will have Sanger, ONT, and bioinformatics experts on hand to address your questions.
