This is the Way: Bringing long-read data analysis to clinical routine
Long-read sequencing has emerged as a powerful and comprehensive approach for whole-genome analysis, enabling high-resolution characterization of complex, repetitive, and otherwise challenging genomic regions. By overcoming key limitations of traditional short-read and stepwise diagnostic workflows, long-read technologies offer a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative capable of consolidating multiple assays into a single test.
However, the adoption of long-read sequencing in routine diagnostics remains constrained by the substantial bioinformatics, IT, and regulatory expertise and effort required to manage the fragmented RUO analysis pipelines.
To fully leverage the diagnostic potential of long read sequencing, laboratories – especially smaller labs with limited resources – require standardized, end-to-end software solutions that deliver robust data processing, intuitive visualization of complex variant types, and compliance with medical device regulations.
In this Corporate Satellite session, you will learn how the IVDR-certified varvis® software addresses these challenges by providing a streamlined, medically validated platform that enables long-read sequencing as a first-line diagnostic approach. By integrating automated analysis with user-friendly interpretation tools, the varvis® software facilitates efficient, comprehensive, and scalable genomic diagnostics, supporting laboratories in advancing diagnostic quality and yield.
Our speakers & talks
A Hitchhiker’s Guide to LRS: Implementing long-read sequencing in clinical diagnostics
Dr. Denny Schanze
University Hospital Magdeburg
In this talk, Denny Schanze will walk you step by step through his team’s journey of establishing Nanopore Sequencing at the University Hospital Magdeburg with minimum in-house IT resources using the varvis® software. He will present a selection of clinical examples illustrating the capabilities, challenges and practical benefits of the complete solution including analysis of complex structural variants and repeat expansions.
Beyond simple variant detection: Maximizing the clinical utility of long-read sequencing
Dr. Ben Liesfeld
Limbus Medical Technologies GmbH
Long-read sequencing offers clinical value beyond improved variant detection. This talk highlights two types of information uniquely enabled by long reads that are difficult to obtain with short-read technologies. First, long reads allow accurate analysis of complex genomic regions, including genes with highly homologous paralogs or pseudogenes. Second, long-read sequencing provides native DNA methylation data without additional assays. Examples for both capabilities are demonstrated using the varvis® software, illustrating their potential for integrated genetic and epigenetic diagnostics.
Are you planning to establish long‑read sequencing in your lab or already have a sequencer whose full potential you can’t yet realize due to limited time, staff, or resources?
Visit our team® at
Booth #516
We will walk you through real clinical cases and show how you can analyze long‑read data efficiently, including:
• structural variants and repeat expansions
• complex genomic regions with highly homologous paralogs or pseudogenes
• DNA methylation
All within one streamlined workflow.
