LoopSeq seminar in Oslo October 10th by Leymus Genomics

On the 10^th of October, Rasmus Brøndum from Leymus Genomics will be presenting an exciting new synthetic long-read sequencing technology that functions on existing short-read Illumina® sequencers. LoopSeq®, developed by Loop Genomics, is an innovative sequencing technology that provides previously inaccessible layers of information from Illumina®-generated sequences. This enables a wide variety of diverse sequencing applications, including sequencing of microbiomes, transcriptomes, targeted amplicons, and more.

Some of the benefits of LoopSeq® include:

• Uses your existing Illumina sequencer – no extra instruments
• Single-molecule sequencing
• Multiplex single-tube workflow
• Consensus error correction – error rates reduced 40x vs. standard short reads
• Full isoform mapping for transcriptome research
• True quantitative results due to transcript counting using UMIs and full-length reads
• Better resolution on species and strain level for microbiome research

Come join us in Oslo at the Ullevål University Hospital for Rasmus’ talk. Number of attendees will be limited so be sure to email us (kristine@leymusgenomics.com) if you’re interested. Details are as follows:
