MGI concluded a successful Technology and Application Conference of Genomics (TACG) at ICG-13 on 25 October. Leading academics and industry experts shared ideas and insights, covering topics from NGS technology to genomics applications.
Prof. Yang Huanming delivered the opening remarks, emphasising the importance of MGI’s life science tools for genomics research.
Among the speakers, Dr. Yasushi Okazaki and Dr. Ken Yagi of the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences presented on sequencing technology in research and shared their experience using the MGISEQ-2000, a highly versatile platform meeting multiple research needs.
Andreas Posch, CEO of Ares Genetics, Curetis Group, discussed the application of sequencing technology in infectious diseases in his presentation “Next-Generation Infectious Disease and Antibiotic Resistance Diagnostics”.
Dr. Wang Ou unveiled the new MGIEasy stLFR library prep kit. Using single-tube long fragment reads (stLFR) technology, it significantly reduces the cost and complexity of long fragment library preparation.
As a leading global provider of next-generation sequencing machines, MGI aims to engage with peers on how these technologies can advance gene sequencing projects. TACG provides a platform for exchange, enabling exploration of new applications in genomics.
