The Genomic Frontier: Advancing DNA Sequencing, Karyotyping, and Telomere Science


April 4th, 2025

[EDT: 5:00 AM, CET: 11:00 AM, CST: 5:00 PM]

This webinar delves into the cutting-edge advancements shaping modern genomic research, focusing on three transformative areas: DNA sequencing, karyotyping, and telomere science. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these techniques are revolutionizing the way we explore genetic material, identify chromosomal abnormalities, and study telomere-related diseases. Highlighting state-of-the-art tools like nanopore sequencing, the event will explore their application in accurate telomere length measurement and their critical role in diagnosing and understanding telomere biology disorders. Whether you are a researcher, clinician, or student, this session will provide invaluable insights into the interconnected landscape of genomic technologies. The webinar will feature three expert-led lectures, each tailored to address a specific aspect of the genomic journey. The first lecture will explore the principles and advancements in DNA sequencing technologies, emphasizing their precision and impact on genomic medicine. The second session will focus on karyotyping, shedding light on its role in detecting chromosomal abnormalities and its integration with modern molecular techniques. The final lecture will unveil the potential of nanopore-based telomere sequencing, offering a novel approach to telomere length measurement and its implications in telomere biology diseases. By attending, participants will learn about these cutting-edge methods and understand how they synergize to drive innovations in genomic science.



This webinar comprises of three following presentations of 20 min each followed by 20 min of panel discussion at the end.
