This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
This month’s publications show just how versatile HiFi sequencing has become. In September, studies ranged from building the most comprehensive map yet of human genomic imprinting, to evaluating clinical…
As many as 7 in 10 people carry at least one pathogenic genetic variant, even if they have no family history of disease1. That means most couples could unknowingly…
Carrier screening is one of the most influential ways genetics is shaping the future of human health. By revealing inherited risks before they ever appear, carrier screening has changed…
We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2025 Microbiome SMRT Grant for HiFi shotgun metagenomics. This year’s program received hundreds of amazing proposals from researchers around the…
This month’s publication highlights show how HiFi sequencing is helping researchers tackle challenges across clinical genomics research. See how HiFi is helping researchers sequence ultra-low input cancer samples, profile…
The coffee’s cold, your pipette tips are backordered, and someone just booked your favorite lab bench. Science can be full of small annoyances. We can’t solve them all, but…
In biopharmaceutical research and development, the path from discovery to approved therapy can be long and complex, requiring innovation at every step. Success depends on understanding biology at its…
Sequencing is the backbone of modern genomics. It has evolved over time, and as platforms grow to be faster and more accurate, researchers are finding new ways to maximize…
In July 2025’s publication roundup we’re proud to show how HiFi sequencing is playing a major role in advancing our understanding of the human brain, and autism in particular….
When it comes to microbial genomics, Dr. Ibrahim Bitar doesn’t back down from a challenge. As an Assistant Professor of Microbiology at Charles University in Prague, and CEO of…
Kinnex has been making a splash since the day it launched – showing up in talks, turning heads in RNA labs, and putting its use cases solidly in the…
In the sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, interstellar explorers hitch rides aboard ships that take them on wild, unexpected journeys across the cosmos. In a new…
Today’s genome sequencing is nothing short of transformative. But the technology’s true potential isn’t unlocked by chemistry alone, it’s the software that brings it to life. If sequencing is…
What a month for Iso-Seq and Kinnex. The June 2025 edition of Powered by PacBio puts the spotlight on a suite of standout studies that tap into the full…
At Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, genomics lives outside the lecture hall. It’s active, hands-on, and fully integrated into how students learn and how research gets done. At…
