Complex populations

Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing generates the long, accurate, single-molecule reads you need to comprehensively characterize samples with complex variation. With SMRT sequencing you can:

  • Identify closely related individuals within a heterogeneous mixture
  • Track the rapid evolution in response to environmental conditions, immune pressures, or drug treatments
