Focus in with access to the full spectrum of genetic variation
Accurately discover and detect all variant types even in the hardest to reach regions of the genome
Targeted Sequencing
Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel Systems allow you to easily and cost effectively generate highly accurate long reads (>99% single-molecule read accuracy) from genes or regions of interest ranging in size from several hundred base pairs to 20 kb. With SMRT Sequencing you can:
- Detect all variant types including structural variants, rare SNPs, indels, copy number variation, microsatellites, haplotypes, and phased alleles
- Sequence through low complexity regions like repeat expansions, promoters, and flanking regions of transposable elements
