Webinar: Leveraging SMRT sequencing to resolve complex immune loci

Webinar Abstract: The regions of our genome responsible for encoding the genes that regulate our immune response are some of the most complex and polymorphic known. This complexity encompasses multiple types of genetic variation, from enrichment of single nucleotide variants through large structural differences. In several instances this variation has been shown to contribute to differential, individual susceptibility to disease.
