Avidity next generation sequencing using the AVITI benchtop sequencer
special seminar
Short, long and spatial sequencing in a single instrument
The AVITI sequencer from Element Biosciences is a new benchtop sequencer that employs a new type of DNA sequencing chemistry called Avidity DNA sequencing. It currently supports both short and synthetic long-read sequencing applications and will shortly also support spatial biology applications. In this talk, we will dive into how Avidity DNA sequencing chemistry works and the interesting applications it enables.
