Webinar Announcement: Efficient Long-Read Genome Library Prep in the Wellcome Sanger Institute’s Darwin Tree of Life Project

SPT Labtech Japan

In this webinar, we will present successful cases of automating long-read whole genome library preparation using the PacBio SMRTbell Long Read Library Preparation Kit 3.0 (SPK3). This automated workflow, conducted on the SPT Labtech firefly platform, provides high-quality sequencing results while maintaining DNA integrity as an alternative to manual processes, creating long-read libraries from eight species, including humans, mice, and crickets. This research contributes to the "Darwin Tree of Life Project," which aims to generate reference genomes for approximately 70,000 eukaryotic species in the British Isles. Automation improves the efficiency and standardization of library preparation, reducing manual labor and errors. This is an opportunity to learn about maintaining DNA integrity and applying it to diverse organisms using the PacBio SMRTbell kit. Lesley Shirley and Ben Farr from the Wellcome Sanger Institute will participate in the Q&A session to answer your questions.
