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 our technology has produced this year.
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.
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 customers? How is PacBio leadership thinking about delivering a differentiated set of products and applications into high-growth clinical markets? In this intimate conversation with genomics leaders, Christian Henry, and Richard Shen, they share their vision for the future as a combined company.
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 then turns the microphone over to Susan Hiatt, Ph.D. from HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. Dr. Hiatt discusses how she and her team used HiFi sequencing in their rare disease research to discover genomic variation missed by whole-exome or genome sequencing studies using short reads, allowing her team to uncover medical mysteries that had previously gone unexplained.
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.
