Long-read sequencing has been named method of the year by Nature magazine. From the pangenome effort to the telomere-to-telomere human reference genome, long-read sequencing is playing a central role on deepening our understanding of the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of multiple species. In this symposium we delve into this technology and provide an overview of how long-read sequencing works, how its raw data is analyzed and subsequently interpreted, and present a number of showcase studies. The event is open to researchers and practitioners in the areas of healthcare, biomedical sciences, biology, data science and computational genomics.
