Complex Genomes Solved

Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS)

The Global Institute for Food Security invites you to its latest seminar exploring advances in genome sequencing technology.

This is a hybrid event - online and in-person. In-Person location: Candle Span Room in The Atrium, Innovation Place

This seminar will highlight research employing HiFi long-read sequencing to support plant improvement and crop breeding initiatives that are benefiting agriculture. We will also show how GIFS' Omics and Precision Agriculture Laboratory (OPAL) applies this technology to vast research areas that impact food security and beyond.The event will also address diverse applications for PacBio’s Revio, a high-throughput sequencer that can sequence up to 15 times more genomic data per day, accelerating research and development in various fields of discovery.By registering to attend this event, you are eligible to submit a proposal and be selected for an award of one 25M SMRT Cell of free PacBio sequencing on a Revio system for your next project. Details on how to apply for this grant will be emailed to you once your registration is complete. SpeakersCurtis Pozniak, Director, Crop Development Centre Feed the Future: Genome-Guided Technologies for Wheat ImprovementAlexander Cherniavsky, Western Canadian Territory Manager, PacBio New Paradigms – New Potential: An overview of PacBio and its Powerful TechnologiesChris Black, Sequencing Applications Specialist, PacBio Exploring PacBio Hifi Technology and Applications About GIFS and OPALGIFS, through OPAL, is the first service provider in Western Canada to provide automated library prep and sequencing for the Revio. OPAL is a premier platform for omics technology, providing world-class genomics, transcriptomics, phenomics and bioinformatics services to researchers and organizations across diverse sectors, including those in agri-food and other fields of research and discovery.
