Join us at ASM Microbe 2026
At ASM 2026, discover how microbiology researchers are advancing microbial genomics with PacBio HiFi sequencing. Combining long-read accuracy with scalable workflows, HiFi sequencing enables complete and contiguous microbial genomes, high-resolution strain identification, and comprehensive characterization of complex microbial communities. From resolving mobile genetic elements and antimicrobial resistance markers to profiling full-length 16S and recovering high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes, HiFi sequencing delivers a deeper, more accurate view of microbial biology.
Ongoing innovations in chemistry, throughput, and analysis are making large-scale microbial and metagenomic studies more accessible and cost-effective than ever. Whether you are investigating pathogen evolution, tracking outbreaks, exploring microbiomes, or uncovering novel biosynthetic pathways, HiFi sequencing provides the resolution and confidence needed to fully understand microbial systems.
Visit us at booth #1325 to meet PacBio experts, see live demonstrations of our Vega and Revio sequencing systems, and learn how HiFi sequencing can empower your genetic testing workflows. Stay connected for the latest updates, sessions, and opportunities to connect with PacBio at ASM 2026.
We are excited to learn about your sequencing projects and research.
