A paper just released in BMC Genomics details what authors call “the most complete filarial nematode assembly published thus far at a fraction of the cost of previous efforts.” The…
A study launched over concerns around hospital-acquired infections has led to a recommendation for better microbial screening of patients upon admission. The research, from scientists at several NIH institutes, found…
Mendelspod host Theral Timpson kicked off a new podcast series this week on long-read sequencing that will include interviews with luminaries in the genomics field. Check out this introductory article…
A recent publication from senior author Laura Landweber at Princeton University offers a remarkable and unexpected look at sweeping genomic rearrangements in a unicellular organism. “The Architecture of a Scrambled…
Scientists in Florida and Finland recently published a report of their work studying methylation patterns in two human microbiome samples. While microbiome studies have become quite popular, the authors note…
After so many compelling customer projects for microbial genomes, it’s been rewarding to see more scientists turning to Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing for larger genomes, such as plants and…
A recent paper from scientists in China and the United States demonstrates a novel view of phosphorothioate (PT) DNA modifications in two bacterial genomes. Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University,…
At ISMB 2014 in Boston earlier this month, Gene Myers of the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, presented a keynote address entitled “DNA Assembly: Past, Present, and…
We’re eager for the #ISMB conference — it’s the 22nd annual Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology event — kicking off this weekend in Boston. As we continue to push our…
Our webinar on eukaryotic genome assembly attracted a great crowd, and now we’re making the full recording available to the community. The session featured great hands-on information and best practices…
A new paper from scientists at Stanford University and Yale University describes the use of Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing to generate transcriptomes for three individuals. The work is believed…
It’s been a busy start to the summer, but we’re still basking in the top-notch presentations and posters from the Sequencing, Finishing, and Analysis in the Future meeting last month….
At the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at Mount Sinai in New York City, technology development expert Robert Sebra, Ph.D., sees tremendous need for long-read, high-accuracy sequencing for…
Since the launch of the Iso-Seq protocol in SMRT Analysis in 2014, the analysis pipeline has seen several improvements, as well a host of new tools. Please see our updated…
A talk at last week’s ASM conference continued the recent trend of scientists using Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing in research projects designed to better understand the transmission path of…
