We’re already looking forward to next month’s Personalized Medicine World Conference. Long before “precision medicine” was an industry catchphrase, PMWC was bringing together stakeholders from genomics companies and academic research,…
A team of scientists from Australia, Canada, and the US published fascinating new work that may help explain gene expression patterns seen in prostate cancer. In the course of the…
We’re excited about a new Nature paper from the winners of our 2014 “Most Interesting Genome in the World” SMRT Grant program. “Single-molecule sequencing of the desiccation tolerant grass Oropetium…
Mendelspod host Theral Timpson recently interviewed Professor Steven Marsh, Director of Bioinformatics at the Anthony Nolan Research Institute, a UK-based organization dedicated to improving the outcomes of bone marrow transplantation…
This week the Festival of Genomics comes to the West Coast, and we’re excited to be a founding sponsor of the Front Line Genomics organization. Not only is it our…
A new publication reports the discovery and analysis of a nightmare bacterium that’s genetically resistant to all commercially available classes of antibiotics. The paper, “Stepwise evolution of pandrug-resistance in Klebsiella pneumonia,”…
Richard Roberts, Nobel Laureate and Chief Scientific Officer of New England Biolabs, offers his thoughts on the utility of methylation data for understanding prokaryotes. In his words: “Please run SMRT…
Following on the heels of characterizing 18 Mst77Y genes that were tandemly duplicated within a 96 kb region (Krsticevic FJ, et al., 2015), scientists from institutes in Brazil, Austria, and the…
During the final days of the ASHG meeting last week in Baltimore, a number of scientists offered great presentations based on data generated with SMRT Sequencing, including an entire session…
During the Wednesday afternoon sessions of last week’s ASHG conference, several speakers provided helpful insights about their use of SMRT Sequencing for a range of applications. Highlights included the following:…
The PacBio workshop at ASHG 2015 featured talks from two leaders in human genomics, Rick Wilson of Washington University and Richard Gibbs from Baylor University. Mike Hunkapiller, CEO of Pacific…
Watch a recording of our AGBT 2015 workshop, “Addressing Hidden Heritability with Long-Read Single Molecule, Real-time (SMRT) Sequencing”:
Next-generation sequencing has many people excited about the prospect of the $1,000 genome, however recent discoveries show that short-read sequencing technologies miss important genomic elements, driving scientists to look for…
As part of our effort to support the National Institutes of Health and the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) in creating platinum genomes for the research community and improving the reference…
We’re looking forward to the year’s biggest scientific meeting focused on human genetics next week — the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2015 annual meeting, taking place in Baltimore,…
