Twist NGS Morning Tea/Lunch and Learn — Dunedin

Join Decode Science for a full day of NGS conversation at the University of Otago, focused on how Twist Bioscience's sequencing solutions are transforming workflows across pathology, molecular medicine, and biochemistry.

This session will highlight Twist Bioscience's full NGS toolkit — spanning exome and custom target-capture panels, methylation sequencing, long-read library preparation, and RNA/MRD sequencing — designed to support everything from high-resolution variant detection and methylation profiling to long-read genome assembly and streamlined library prep. Learn how these flexible, purpose-built solutions can offer deeper coverage and more precise targeting than off-the-shelf panels, empowering labs to design exactly the sequencing workflow their research needs.

Whether you're exploring methylation biomarkers, building a custom NGS panel, scaling up long-read sequencing, or troubleshooting your library prep protocol, this session will offer practical insights into how Twist's NGS solutions can streamline your research. Twist Bioscience's NGS expert, Adam Werner, will be joined by Decode Science's Chris throughout the day.
