A large group of scientists published a new reference genome assembly for maize. It was generated with SMRT Sequencing and other technologies, and represents a major leap forward in accurately…
In a preprint available from bioRxiv, scientists from the University of Lausanne and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics present the first SMRT Sequencing results from isolates of the fungal pathogen Candida…
The Joint Genome Institute recently announced results from a project that used SMRT Sequencing to generate high-quality genome assemblies and detect epigenetic modifications for fungal species that represent the earliest…
This week the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and the University of Georgia are co-hosting CROPS 2017, a meeting focused on genomic technologies and their use in crop improvement and breeding…
A sweeping new report on Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence data from scientists at the Houston Methodist Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medical College, and other institutions found more diversity than expected in strains…
We can’t wait for ASM Microbe! It’s one of the largest microbiology conferences in the world and is taking place June 1-5 in New Orleans. With more than 10,000 people…
The May issue of Genome Research is a special edition focusing on advances in sequencing technologies and genome assembly techniques. The research papers selected for this special issue cover reference-grade…
A publication in BMC Genomics upends some of the conventional wisdom about variants that may cause virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Scientists at San Diego State University used SMRT Sequencing to…
A new publication in BMC Genomics explores the use of RNA normalization and 5’ cap selection to enhance results from Iso-Seq studies using SMRT Sequencing. Scientists from the University of…
Screening for pathogenic variants associated with polycystic kidney disease is now more accurate and affordable with SMRT Sequencing. A new paper in Human Mutation from scientists at Leiden University Medical…
It’s DNA Day, the annual celebration of the discovery of the double helix, the completion of the Human Genome Project, and all things genetic. We like to take the opportunity…
Today is Earth Day, a great time to reflect on the growing trend of conversation genomics. We are proud that many scientists are using PacBio long-read sequencing for the goal…
Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Advanced Sciences published a compelling review article describing several recent clinically relevant projects they have completed using SMRT Sequencing. Released in the journal Human…
A preprint from scientists at the University of Florida, Centro de Investigaciones Principe Felipe, and other institutes describes a new analysis tool to help boost quality of transcriptome studies. “SQANTI:…
A new publication in Genome Research shows how the use of SMRT Sequencing, in combination with other technologies, can reveal far more about repetitive DNA and structural variants than short-read…
