In this talk, Jonas Korlach, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at PacBio describes how using PacBio HiFi reads, which are greater than 99.9% accurate and up to 25 kb long, led to the detection of structural variants in examples of previously unexplained rare genetic diseases. Genetic diseases affect as much as 10% of the population and over 50% of cases currently remain unexplained. Similarly, Mendelian diseases include over 8,500 described disorders, however at present ~40% have an unknown genetic cause. In addition, he highlights the strength of complete, phased, high-accuracy human WGS for simultaneously yielding high-quality information about any other locus…
In this video Jonas Korlach, PacBio Chief Scientific Officer, shares how PacBio is partnering with LabCorp to use highly accurate long-read sequencing in support of global efforts for genome surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Korlach describes the benefits of the HiFiViral for SARS-CoV-2 Workflow for delivering complete viral genomes as well as variant detection successes made to date using the workflow.

Studying microbial genomics and infectious disease? Learn how the PacBio Sequel II System can help advance your research, with first-hand perspectives from scientists who are investigating SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. In this webinar, Melissa Laird-Smith (Mt. Sinai School of Medicine) discusses her work evaluating the impact of host immune restriction in health and disease with high resolution HLA typing. She is joined by Corey Watson (University of Louisville School of Medicine) who talks about overcoming complexity to elucidate the role of IGH haplotype diversity in antibody-mediated immunity. Hosted by Meredith Ashby, Director of Microbial Genomics at PacBio. Access additional PacBio resources…
