SMRT Leiden 2020 is now an online event.

The 2020 SMRTLeiden Meeting includes two back-to-back events: SMRT Scientific Symposium and the fifth European SMRT Informatics Developers Meeting. The SMRT Scientific Symposium is a two-day event on April 28 and 29 that features presentations from key experts and opinion leaders sharing their scientific discoveries and novel analytical achievements using PacBio sequencing platforms. This event is packed with inspirational lectures that highlight the latest achievements in various fields: from microbes to human health. The SMRT Informatics Developers Conference is a one-day collaborative event on April 30 that focuses on developing and improving analysis tools for PacBio SMRT Sequencing data. This event is packed with several short presentations, in-person brainstorming and idea exchange among software developers and the bioinformatics community with a focus on advancement of new and existing open-source tools for de novo assembly, genome phasing, structural variations, base modification and Iso-Seq analysis.

Presentations will be available on-demand on 12 May 2020
