Array Ancillary session

Improving human health through Illumina microarray solutions
Tuesday, October 25 at 6:30 PM (PT)
JW Marriott LA Live Ballroom E–J

Microarrays continue to play a key role in providing a variety of different data types that are relevant in clinical research and can be applied at scale due to their low-cost relative to other options. Array data continues to be combined with other -omics data to drive further insights into human biology, particularly in the context of translational research and the utility of this information in healthcare.

Industry Education session

Illumina innovation roadmap featuring the NovaSeq X series
Wednesday, October 26 at 12:30 PM (PT)
Room 304 – LA Convention Center
Lunch will be served.

Over the last several years, many health challenges were magnified due to the pandemic, driving historic innovation across the global scientific community. In particular, the crucial role that genomics can play in transforming precision medicine and care delivery came to the forefront.  From vaccines and therapies to early cancer detection and diagnostics, there was greater adoption of genomic medicine in the last year than ever before in history – and this is just the beginning. Technologic advancements in sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry and bioinformatics, together with long-read sequencing assays that can deliver contiguous data up to 10Kb, expand the breadth of applications on Illumina platforms by enabling the most accurate and comprehensive view of the genome, including SNPs, indels and structural variants that will fuel the next era of genomic medicine. In this presentation, we will describe the technical innovations that are driving improvements in next-generation sequencing capabilities and highlight how this technology enables precision medicine applications.

CoLab session

Illumina Complete Long-Read technology: Detailed insights into complex genomes

Thursday, October 27 at 10 AM (PT)
CoLab Theater 1 – LA Convention Center

Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been the most widely adopted technology for human whole-genome sequencing (WGS), delivering an accurate, scalable, cost-effective solution, featured in over 300,000 scientific publications. However, a small portion of the genome remains challenging to map due to highly repetitive or highly homologous regions. Illumina Complete Long-Read technology, previously announced as Infinity, will address these edge cases and accelerate access to the remaining ~5% of genic regions. In this presentation, we will describe the benefits of Illumina’s novel long-read technology, including accuracy, scalability, and workflow improvements. In addition, we will discuss how the Complete Long-Read technology is complemented by other technical innovations in our roadmap.
