Technology to Read Genomes Correctly: Mechanism and Potential of Long Read Sequencer
- Exhibition
★Laboratory of Medical Omics Data Analysis (Department of Integrated Biosciences)
Research on genomes and DNA, the blueprint of life, is now very important to clarify the mechanism of organisms' evolution and hereditary disease. In this research field, reading genomes and DNA information correctly is significant but extremely difficult. Generally, we use the so-called NGS, the next-generation sequencer. There are several types of machines, and each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Why is it so difficult to read genomes correctly? How does the long-read sequencer (one of the machines at our laboratory) overcome the problems? Visitors can learn the answers to these questions and see the actual sequencer.
