Raleigh, North Carolina, USA | September 4, 2026
Sailgene was pleased to participate in the 2026 Genetics and Genomics Academy (GGA) Annual Retreat at North Carolina State University on September 4, 2026, bringing its advanced sequencing capabilities to the U.S. genetics and genomics research community.
The annual retreat gave researchers, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and other members of the genomics community a chance to exchange research insights, discuss emerging technologies, and connect with peers across diverse areas of genetics and life science research.
For Sailgene, the event was an opportunity to engage directly with researchers in the United States, learn more about their research needs, and introduce sequencing solutions for increasingly complex genome and transcriptome projects.
Connecting with the U.S. Genomics Research Community
Modern genomics research increasingly requires sequencing technologies that can capture complex biological information at greater scale and resolution. From genome assembly and structural variation to transcriptome characterization, researchers are exploring new approaches to obtain more comprehensive genomic information.
During the GGA Annual Retreat, the Sailgene team connected with researchers and members of the NC State genomics community to discuss current research interests and potential applications of advanced sequencing technologies.
These conversations provided valuable insights into the evolving needs of U.S. researchers and reinforced Sailgene's commitment to supporting genomics research with flexible and high-quality sequencing solutions.

Showcasing Ultra-Long Sequencing Across Multiple Species
A key focus of Sailgene's participation was presenting its ultra-long DNA extraction and sequencing capability.
Sailgene showcased representative ultra-long sequencing results generated from multiple species, demonstrating consistent performance across different biological samples. The datasets included representatives of Fabaceae, Rhinocerotidae, and Erinaceidae, with estimated read N50 values exceeding 100 kb.
The results included:
- Fabaceae: Estimated read N50 of 35 kb, with a sequencing yield of 28.65 Gb
- Rhinocerotidae: Estimated read N50 of 6 kb, with a sequencing yield of 26.7 Gb
- Erinaceidae: Estimated read N50 of 96 kb, with a sequencing yield of 26.08 Gb
These results highlight Sailgene's ability to generate exceptionally long sequencing reads across different species and biological systems.

Ultra-long reads can help resolve repetitive genomic regions, structural variations, complex genome architectures, and other challenging regions of the genome. These capabilities can be particularly useful for genome assembly, genome evolution, biodiversity research, and projects requiring more continuous genomic information.
By combining high-molecular-weight DNA extraction with ultra-long nanopore sequencing, Sailgene provides researchers with sequencing strategies designed to address challenging genome projects and explore complex genomic regions.
Supporting Advanced Genome and Transcriptome Research
In addition to ultra-long sequencing, Sailgene introduced its Direct RNA Sequencing (DRS) capabilities at the event.
Direct RNA sequencing enables researchers to analyze RNA molecules directly and obtain full-length transcript information, providing an additional approach for transcriptome research and RNA characterization.
Together with its long-read sequencing capabilities, Sailgene's portfolio supports a broad range of applications, including T2T genome sequencing, ultra-long sequencing, pangenome research, full-length transcriptome sequencing, Direct RNA sequencing, long-read single-cell transcriptomics, and long-read spatial transcriptomics.
These technologies give researchers flexible options for designing sequencing strategies based on their specific biological questions and project objectives.
Building Connections for Future Genomics Research
Participation in the NC State GGA Annual Retreat allowed Sailgene to strengthen its connection with the U.S. genomics research community and engage with researchers working across diverse areas of genetics and life science research.
For Sailgene, these scientific exchanges are an important part of understanding emerging research needs and exploring how advanced sequencing technologies can contribute to new discoveries.
As genomics research continues to move toward longer reads, more complete genome assemblies, full-length transcript information, and higher-resolution molecular analysis, Sailgene looks forward to supporting researchers and institutions in the United States and around the world.
Sailgene thanks the NC State Genetics and Genomics Academy and the researchers who connected with the Sailgene team during the 2026 GGA Annual Retreat.
