Efficient long-read data analysis with the varvis® software
Long-read sequencing is a powerful and robust solution for analyzing complex and repetitive genomic regions, effectively addressing the limitations of traditional methods like Sanger sequencing and long-range PCR (lrPCR). Additionally, it provides a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative.
Join our Corporate Satellite to learn how the varvis® software seamlessly integrates both long-read and short-read sequencing data from the same patient, enabling streamlined analysis within a single IVDR-certified genomics platform and thus facilitating an efficient and comprehensive diagnostic approach.
Discover how the varvis® team also supports your transition to the latest standards, ensuring that you can maximize the potential of your sequencing technologies.
Our speakers & talks
One assay to rule them all: Replacing Sanger and lrPCR with a long-read targeted panel
Dr. Hauke Baumann,
amedes genetics
Traditional methods like Sanger sequencing, which rely on long-range PCR amplification for genetic regions with pseudogenes or high homology, and MLPA are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. To address these obstacles for a set of challenging genes, amedes genetics has developed a targeted long-read sequencing panel designed to streamline their workflow.
In this presentation, Dr. Hauke Baumann will provide an in-depth look at the design strategy and present a selection of clinical application examples illustrating the practical benefits of the complete solution including automated SNV and CNV analysis. Additionally, the talk will emphasize the rigorous validation process that ensures accuracy and reliability of this approach ultimately delivering higher speed of genetic diagnosis as well as best possible patient care.
T2T vs. hg38: A journey to the new standard
Dr. Preetha Balakrishnan,
Limbus Medical Technologies GmbH
The transition from the hg38 reference genome to the T2T-CHM13 genome represents a significant advancement in genomic research and clinical diagnostics. This talk will explore the key differences between these two reference genomes, highlighting the completeness and accuracy of T2T-CHM13. Dr. Preetha Balakrishnan will discuss the implications for clinical practice and address the question of when T2T-CHM13 will become the new standard.
Performance matters: Long-read data analysis in medical device software
Dr. Ben Liesfeld
Limbus Medical Technologies GmbH
The IVDR regulation sets strict quality and compliance standards for genetic testing in medical laboratories. To keep pace with these standards, software manufacturers must continually innovate and deliver advanced features and services that prioritize patient care. In this talk, Dr. Ben Liesfeld will showcase how Limbus Medical Technologies ensures accurate long-read data processing within the varvis® software while meeting the highest performance standards.
