The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new focus and resources to pathogen surveillance of all kinds. HiFi sequencing, which combines high accuracy, long read lengths, and single-molecule sequencing, is unique in…
We created the HiFiViral SARS-CoV-2 Kit for labs working on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic — tracking and identifying the spread of novel variants in their communities. The…
Learn how Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel IIe System and will accelerate your research by delivering highly accurate long reads to provide the most comprehensive view of genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes.
HiFiViral for SARS-CoV-2 is a simple-to-use, scalable, cost-effective solution for sequencing the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome. This fully kitted solution uses a novel approach that is robust to new variants and comprehensively detects all types of mutations.
PacBio Vice President of Segment Marketing, Dr. Jennifer Stone, demonstrates how HiFi sequencing is changing the game in human genetics by sharing some of the exciting milestones and seminal publications…
There are many clinically important genes in “dark” regions of the human genome. These regions are characterized as dark due to a paucity of NGS coverage as a result of short-read sequencing or mapping difficulties. Low NGS sequencing yield can arise in these regions due to the presence of various repeat elements or biased base composition while inaccurate mapping can result from segmental duplications. Long-read sequencing coupled with an optimized, robust enrichment method has the potential to illuminate these dark regions.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a major global epidemiological challenge with the ongoing emergence of new strain lineages that are more contagious, more virulent, drug-resistant, and in some cases…
With the September 2021 closing of PacBio’s acquisition of Omniome, PacBio intends to become the first company to offer both long-read and short-read sequencing platforms. What does this mean for…
In this ESHG 2021 Workshop, PacBio Chief Scientific Officer Jonas Korlach, Ph.D., describes why HiFi sequencing improves the ability to detect pathogenic variants that previously went undetected with other technologies. He…
The highly polymorphic CYP2D6 gene impacts the metabolism of 25% of the mostly prescribed drugs. Thus, accurate identification of variant CYP2D6 alleles in individuals is necessary for personalized medicine. PacBio HiFi sequencing produces long and accurate reads to identify variant regions. Here, we describe an end-to-end workflow for the characterization of full-length CYP2D6 by HiFi sequencing.
