PacBio HiFi reads provide both long read lengths (up to 25 kb) and high accuracy (>99.9%) to quickly and affordably generate contiguous, complete, and correct de novo genome assemblies of even the most complex genomes.
Highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads – with single-molecule resolution make Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing ideal for full-length 16S rRNA sequencing, shotgun metagenomic profiling, and metagenome assembly.
PacBio highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads – offer a single-platform solution for rare and inherited disease research, elucidating suspected genetic causes of disease in up to ~50% of cases that have not previously been explained using short-read exome or whole genome sequencing. PacBio offers an efficient workflow, developed in collaboration with Children’s Mercy Kansas City, which provides a scalable solution for sequencing 100s to 1000s of whole human genomes per year on the Sequel II and Sequel IIe Systems.
With highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads) from the Sequel II or IIe Systems you can comprehensively detect variants in 100s to 1000s of genomes in a year. HiFi reads provide high precision and recall for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, structural variants (SVs), and copy number variants (CNVs), including in difficult-to-map repetitive regions.
Learn how PacBio highly accurate long reads enable an improved approach to whole genome sequencing to understand the genetic origins of rare diseases.
This landmark study by members of the Telomere-to-Telomer Consortium is the first fully complete assembly to be produced 20 years after the initial drafts of the human genome.
