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.
The Agilent 5200, 5300, and 5400 Fragment Analyzer instruments are fast, high-resolution benchtop capillary electrophoresis (CE) platforms that utilize proprietary markers to accurately size fragments ranging from 10 to 50 kb. This platform allows important DNA quality checkpoints to be completed in one hour for de novo large-genome sequencing projects and other PacBio applications leveraging multi-kilobase read lengths. The instrument can be used in place of time-consuming QC steps involving pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), saving time by avoiding multiple overnight gel runs when preparing large-insert SMRTbell libraries. Alternative DNA-sizing instruments cannot accurately resolve large DNA fragments in this range.

Explore how highly accurate long-read sequencing enabled sequencing the large and highly complex California redwood genome.
Explore how high-quality genomes contribute to critical scientific endeavors.
At DuPont Pioneer, DNA sequencing is paramount for R&D to reveal the genetic basis for traits of interest in commercial crops such as maize, soybean, sorghum, sunflower, alfalfa, canola, wheat, rice, and others. They cannot afford to wait the years it has historically taken for high-quality reference genomes to be produced. Nor can they rely on a single reference to represent the genetic diversity in its germplasm.
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.
In this talk, Aaron Wenger from PacBio uses industry examples to describe how using highly accurate long-reads, or HiFi reads, provides the most comprehensive result, giving you greater than 99.9% accuracy, up to 25 kb long.
In this video, Dave Miller from PacBio and Alvaro Hernandez PhD from the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign discuss how to create Core Lab demand using PacBio highly accurate long-read, or HiFi, sequencing.
PacBio Sequencing and software enable the generation of highly accurate (>99.9%) long reads. HiFi reads are accurate, essential, affordable, and can be used across a range of applications, including detection of all variant types, from single nucleotides to structural variants. PacBio’s end-to-end solutions feature library preparation paired with push-button analysis to support numerous workflows so you can run projects quickly and easily.
