Webinar: Applying targeted long-read sequencing to assess an expanded repeat in C9orf72

Webinar Abstract: A repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) represents the most common genetic cause of two fatal neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To determine the length of this repeat expansion, we used No-Amp sequencing (Pacific Biosciences [PacBio]), a targeted amplification-free long-read sequencing technology.
