JOIN US AT ESHG 2025
Finding answers to genetic disease just got easier.
Join us on 24–27 May 2025 at ESHG, and experience the future of genomics with HiFi sequencing—where you can see every variant in high resolution. Discover the accuracy you’ve come to trust, now at any scale, and explore solutions built to transform human disease research. From HiFi long-read sequencing and PureTarget repeat expansion panels to Kinnex RNA innovations, we’re empowering researchers to go further, faster.
