Flexible application. Trusted Illumina performance.]<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/jR-7CXLK3Af472Y2yTVhLLiWdr-P?domain=…> From RNA to sequencing-ready libraries in as little as 2 hours Just launched, Illumina Rapid RNA Prep is the fastest and easiest RNA library prep Research workflow in the Illumina portfolio - designed to minimize hands-on time, standardize mRNA, total RNA, and targeted RNA-Seq through a core workflow, and enable same-day sequencing without compromising performance. In this webinar, Illumina experts are joined by early-access users who will share real-world data, workflow insights, and practical considerations from working labs. Date: 23rd September 2026, Wednesday Time: 09:30am - 10:30am (New Delhi) 11:00am – 12:00pm (Bangkok/ Jakarta) 12:00pm – 1:00pm (Singapore/ Kuala Lumpur) 01:00pm – 2:00pm (Tokyo/ Seoul) 3:00pm – 4:00pm (Melbourne) 5:00pm – 6:00pm (Auckland) Hear directly from early-access users: [speakerPhoto_OscarTorres] Oscar Enrique Torres, PhD Research Fellow, Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health University College London (UCL), UK Oscar Enrique Torres, PhD (Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, UK) presents a rapid hybridization capture workflow for targeted metagenomics of respiratory infections and how streamlined RNA-Seq workflows support application-driven research. [speakerPhoto_ThomasBrabbs] Thomas Brabbs, PhD Senior Scientist, Technical Genomics Group, Earlham Institute, UK Thomas Brabbs, PhD (Earlham Institute, UK) discusses evaluating Rapid RNA Prep for low-cost transcriptomics, with a focus on workflow efficiency, turnaround time, and fit within real lab schedules. [speakerPhoto_MichaelAbdo] Michael Abdo, PhD Business Unit Lead, Strategic Growth APAC - Microbiology, Infectious Disease & Agrigenomics, Illumina Michael Abdo, PhD (Illumina) updates about Illumina Rapid RNA Prep- a new, streamlined RNA library prep workflow designed to support mRNA, total RNA, and targeted RNA-Seq through a single, unified approach. What you will learn: * How the Rapid RNA workflow is designed to enable same-day sequencing through reduced steps and hands-on time * How the workflow fits into established RNA-Seq pipelines and supports faster turnaround in routine research * Real-world insights from early-access users on workflow efficiency and practical performance considerations Register Now<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/jR-7CXLK3Af472Y2yTVhLLiWdr-P?domain=…> For Research Use Only.

Fwd: Help sharing long reads workshop with your networks

School of Natural Sciences University of Tasmania Begin forwarded message: From: Giorgia Mori <giorgia(a)biocommons.org.au> Date: 9 September 2026 at 16:19:59 GMT+10 To: National Bioinformatics Training Cooperative <cooperative(a)biocommons.org.au> Subject: Help sharing long reads workshop with your networks Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping us spread the word about the upcoming Australian BioCommons 'Long read sequencing for bacterial genomics' workshop. If you’re able to share, you’ll find suggested promotional text and links below in this email to make this easy. Thank you so much in advance, Cheers, Giorgia ------- TEXT AND LINKS FOR SHARING ------ Australian BioCommons Workshop: Long read sequencing for bacterial genomics Short reads leaving gaps in your bacterial genome assemblies? Short read sequencing has long been the default for genomics, but restricted read lengths (150–300 bp) make it difficult to resolve large repetitive elements and separate mobile plasmids from main chromosomes. Long read sequencing addresses these challenges, but working with multi-kilobase data comes with its own unique analytical workflow requirements. Dr Magdalena Antczak (QCIF) and Dr Michael Geaghan (Sydney Informatics Hub, University of Sydney) will join Australian BioCommons to guide you through the fundamentals of long read sequencing, perform quality control, construct de novo bacterial genome assemblies from ONT data, and annotate genomes to identify antimicrobial resistance genes. This workshop is free but you must apply to join. 7-8 October 2026 (applications close Tuesday 29 September 2026) More information and applications: https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/long-reads-2026<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/xOZ7Cr8DKNfr3R5oyI7f66i4x8m3?domain=…> Share the event on LinkedIn<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/SzWpCvl0O7SE0nDKJfXhlliQNNEw?domain=…>! -------------- -- Giorgia Mori, PhD (she/her) BioCloud Training & Communication Officer Australian BioCommons The University of Melbourne M: +61 (0) 466344648 W: biocommons.org.au<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/b3sPCwVLP8HvZED95f9iGGiJ3FXt?domain=…> My position is funded by Bioplatforms Australia and hosted by The University of Melbourne.
