Senckenberg Biodiversity Genomics Symposium 2022

Virtual - 28 June - 1PM CEST

About the event

Following last year’s successful Senckenberg Biodiversity Genomics Symposium in collaboration with the LOEWE Centre for Translational Biodiversity, we are very happy to announce that the virtual event will be returning this summer.

Scientists from Europe and beyond will share their experiences using highly accurate long-read sequencing (HiFi sequencing), to generate reference-quality genomes of taxonomically diverse organisms to address key biological questions.  

Register today and join the HiFi sequencing community to learn how you can use highly accurate long-read sequencing to advance your research. 

This half-day event, starting at 1 PM CEST on 28 June, includes:

Presentations from researchers using HiFi sequencing for biodiversity genomics research

An expert panel session to have your questions about HiFi sequencing answered

Live Q&A to interact with speakers
