Connecting with Researchers at ICAR 2026
From June 22–26, 2026, Sailgene Technology participated in the 36th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR 2026) in Singapore, one of the world's leading conferences dedicated to plant biology, genomics, and emerging life science technologies.
The conference brought together researchers, technology innovators, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss the latest advances in plant genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, genome engineering, and computational biology.
As a genomics solutions provider specializing in long-read sequencing and complex genome analysis, Sailgene was delighted to engage with scientists exploring new approaches to understanding genome structure, gene regulation, and plant evolution.
Connecting with researchers and industry professionals during ICAR 2026 Singapore.
Throughout the conference, our team engaged in valuable discussions on genome assembly, structural variation analysis, transcriptomics, and polyploid genome research. These conversations highlighted a common challenge across many projects: obtaining complete, accurate, and biologically meaningful genomic information from increasingly complex genomes.
Why Complex Genomes Requre Long-Read Sequencing
As genome research advances, many organisms of scientific and agricultural importance present significant challenges for traditional sequencing approaches.
Large genomes, highly repetitive regions, segmental duplications, structural variations, and polyploid genomes often limit the performance of short-read sequencing technologies.
Long-read sequencing has emerged as a powerful solution by enabling researchers to:
- Resolve highly repetitive genomic regions
- Improve assembly continuity and completeness
- Detect structural variants with higher confidence
- Phase haplotypes accurately
- Generate chromosome-scale and Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) assemblies
- Characterize transcript diversity and RNA modifications
For many modern genomics projects, long-read sequencing is no longer optional—it has become essential.

Sailgene's Long-Read Sequencing Solutions
At ICAR 2026, Sailgene showcased a comprehensive portfolio of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics services designed to support challenging genome projects.
Ultra-Long ONT Sequencing
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) has revolutionized genome assembly through ultra-long reads capable of spanning highly repetitive and structurally complex regions.
Through optimized high-molecular-weight DNA extraction workflows and sequencing protocols, Sailgene routinely delivers ultra-long reads exceeding 150 kb.
Applications include:
- Complex genome assembly
- Structural variation analysis
- Repeat-rich genome characterization
- Telomere and centromere resolution
- T2T genome assembly
PacBio HiFi sequencing
PacBio HiFi sequencing combines long read length with exceptional accuracy, making it one of the most effective technologies for generating high-quality reference genomes.
PacBio HiFi data are particularly valuable for:
- De novo genome assembly
- SNP and small variant detection
- Haplotype phasing
- Population genomics studies
- Comparative genomics analyses
For many plant and animal genomes, HiFi sequencing provides the accuracy needed to build highly reliable genome references.
Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Genome Assembly
The genomics community is increasingly moving toward complete genome assemblies that capture all biologically relevant regions.
By integrating Ultra-Long ONT Reads, PacBio HiFi sequencing, and Hi-C (or Pore-C) technologies, Sailgene delivers chromosome-scale and Telomere-to-Telomere genome assemblies that provide a more comprehensive view of genome architecture.
These assemblies support downstream applications including:
- Genome evolution studies
- Functional genomics
- Molecular breeding
- Structural variation research
- Comparative genomics
Direct RNA Sequencing
Beyond genome assembly, understanding transcript complexity has become increasingly important.
ONT Direct RNA Sequencing enables the direct analysis of native RNA molecules without reverse transcription or amplification.
This technology allows researchers to investigate:
- RNA modifications
- Alternative splicing events
- Full-length transcript isoforms
- Fusion transcripts
- Gene regulation mechanisms
