About the Webinar
In this APHL Member's Only Bonus Communities of Practice Webinar, you will hear from two colleagues who are sequencing the wastewater virome. Their research focuses on the impact of sample processing on sequencing results.
Date: May 15, 2025
Time: 10:00-11:00 am PT, 1:00-2:00 pm ET
Learn:
• Which sample processing methods best detect viruses of interest
• How sample processing impacts sequencing results
• Are your current methods appropriate as you add viral targets or expand to sequencing?
