With highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads) from the Sequel IIe System, powered by Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing technology, you can efficiently and cost effectively validate gene editing techniques including adeno-associated virus (AAV) and CRISPR-Cas9 approaches.
With the PacBio no-amplification (No-Amp) targeted sequencing method, you can now sequence through previously inaccessible regions of the genome to provide base-level resolution of disease-causing repeat expansions. By combining the CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment method with Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing on the Sequel Systems you are no longer limited by hard-to-amplify targets.
Join PacBio’s Mike Weiand to hear how gene editing protocols can benefit from long-read sequencing at multiple stages to optimize and enhance vector integrity. This method allows researchers to reveal findings that other sequencing methods can not identify due to read-length limitations or amplification biases.
In this webinar we describe how current approaches to optimizing vector integrity for gene editing are insufficient and that gene editing protocols can benefit from long read sequencing at multiple stages. We will offer an update on improvements to SMRT Sequencing technology and look at how they are being applied from early QC steps in AAV preps to looking at on/off target effects with greater resolution. Attendees will learn that: 1) Long reads give a much more comprehensive understanding of vector diversity 2) long reads provide greater understanding of on target changes that cannot be seen with other sequencing methods…
Here, we present the 3,443,800-bp complete genome sequence of Curtobacterium sp. strain MR_MD2014 (phylum Actinobacteria). This strain was isolated from soil in Woods Hole, MA, as part of the 2014 Microbial Diversity Summer Program at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Copyright © 2015 Mariita et al.
Streptococcus thermophilus ACA-DC 2 is a newly sequenced strain isolated from traditional Greek yogurt. Among the 14 fully sequenced strains of S. thermophilus currently deposited in the NCBI database, the ACA-DC 2 strain has the smallest chromosome, containing 1,731,838 bp. The annotation of its genome revealed the presence of 1,850 genes, including 1,556 protein-coding genes, 70 RNA genes and 224 potential pseudogenes. A large number of pseudogenes were identified. This was also accompanied by the absence of pathogenic features suggesting evolution of strain ACA-DC 2 through genome decay processes, most probably due to adaptation to the milk ecosystem. Analysis revealed the…
Here is presented the whole-genome sequence of Streptococcus thermophilus APC151, isolated from a marine fish. This bacterium produces gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in high yields and is biotechnologically suitable to produce naturally GABA-enriched biofunctional yogurt. Its complete genome comprises 2,097 genes and 1,839,134 nucleotides, with an average G+C content of 39.1%. Copyright © 2017 Linares et al.
The whole genome sequence of Dolosigranulum pigrum isolated from the blood of a patient with interstitial lung disease was sequenced with the Pacific Biosciences RS II platform. The genome size is 2.1 Mb with 2,127 annotated coding sequences; it contained two clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) systems.
