To bring personalized medicine to all patients, cancer researchers need more reliable and comprehensive views of somatic variants of all sizes that drive cancer biology.
The Sequel II System, powered by Single Molecule, Real Time (SMRT) Technology, delivers highly accurate long reads for a comprehensive view of genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes.
Our understanding of microbiology has evolved enormously over the last 150 years. Few institutions have witnessed our collective progress more closely than the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC). In fact, the collection itself is a record of the many milestones microbiologists have crossed, building on the discoveries of those who came before. To date, 60% of NCTC’s historic collection now has a closed, finished reference genome, thanks to PacBio Single Molecule, Real- Time (SMRT) Sequencing. We are excited to be their partner in crossing this latest milestone on their quest to improve human and animal health by understanding the…
The UK’s National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) is a unique collection of more than 5,000 expertly preserved and authenticated bacterial cultures, many of historical significance. Founded in 1920, NCTC is the longest established collection of its type anywhere in the world, with a history of its own that has reflected — and contributed to — the evolution of microbiology for more than 100 years.

Korean service provider DNA Link has established strong expertise with the PacBio sequencing platform in response to high global demand for the technology.
Learn why it is critically important to understand accuracy in DNA sequencing to distinguish important biological information from sequencing errors.
The Sequel System, powered by Single Molecule, Real Time (SMRT) Technology, delivers long reads, high consensus accuracy, uniform coverage and epigenetic characterization.
Stanford University developmental biologist Lucy Shapiro discusses a collaborative research effort with PacBio sequencing that revealed previously unknown aspects of how chromosome methylation regulates cell cycle progression in Caulobacter. The ability to detect DNA modifications through SMRT Sequencing proved critical in determining methylation states throughout the cell cycle.
Mario Caccamo, head of bioinformatics at The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) in the UK, integrates many different sequencing technologies to get the best of each for optimal genome assemblies, analysis, and annotation. He uses PacBio’s SMRT Sequencing due to its unique long reads for scaffolding and finishing genomes.
Jonas Korlach, of PacBio, discusses the use of SMRT sequencing to detect DNA modifications.
Tyson Clark, a scientist at PacBio, demonstrates the detection and identification of damaged DNA using SMRT Sequencing. With the platform’s ability to see base modifications, Clark notes that the polymerase kinetics can distinguish between different types of DNA damage as well — such as oxidative, radiation, and alkylation. This could help in studies of cancer and aging, where DNA damage is an important factor.
