The year the world went virtual is virtually over, so what better time to reflect on all the great online offerings featuring SMRT Sequencing this year. While we would have…
Celiac disease happens in the gut, but scientists still don’t fully understand the complex interplay between host genetics and the environmental factors that lead to the development of the autoimmune…
Scientists at Stanford University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have made impressive strides in resolving variants in the SLC6A4 promoter associated with susceptibility to psychiatric disorders…
Scientists in China have used SMRT Sequencing to demonstrate the value of highly accurate long reads for identifying, linking, and phasing variants associated with a group of blood disorders known…
Geneticists often point out that a human does not have “a” genome but rather two genomes: one inherited from the mother and another from the father. The number of…
Scientists at the Boyce Thompson Institute, Cornell University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service have reported significant progress in understanding the genomic features of domestic and wild apples. They used HiFi reads, highly accurate long…
Scientists at Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine and Osaka Women’s and Children’s Hospital have discovered a novel pathogenic variant associated with intellectual disability. They made the discovery using…
A new publication from scientists in The Netherlands and Belgium offers tantalizing insights that may shed light on age-related neurodegenerative disorders. The team used SMRT Sequencing to produce a de…
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to honor the passionate scientist who has perhaps single-handedly done more to advance breast…
We’re excited to report that another team has used PacBio long-read sequencing to produce a population-specific reference genome — this time an Egyptian genome that should prove valuable for boosting…
We’re excited to announce a research collaboration with Invitae focused on the investigation of clinically relevant molecular targets for use in the development of advanced diagnostic testing for epilepsy. To…
Assembly and binning of metagenome data are the first steps in many metagenomics analysis pipelines, and with good reason. Metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) and circularized MAGs (CMAGs) allow recovery of…
Kids have lots of questions. But even the world’s top scientists don’t have all the answers — especially when it comes to rare genetic disorders afflicting children. Our HiFi reads,…
As the world faces an unprecedented pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, the scientific spotlight has shone brightly on infectious disease research. And although interest in Public Health England’s (PHE)…
Still soaring from the success of last year’s launch of the award-winning Sequel II System, we’re excited to announce the next evolution of the instrument: the Sequel IIe System. This…
If you have a question, need to check the status of an order, or are interested in purchasing an instrument, we're here to help.
