They spoke about omentum, chemosynthesis, chromothripsis, and… Tasmanian devils? This year’s virtual two-day SMRT Leiden Scientific Symposium and Informatics Developers Meeting was certainly educational. With the pandemic and increased…
Been itching to talk about your latest single-cell experiments, your favorite differentially expressed isoforms, or your latest and greatest software for visualizing alternative splicing, but thwarted by a worldwide pandemic…
Today we’re pleased to announce the launch of a new HiFi Sequencing workflow along with a software update for the Sequel II and Sequel IIe Systems that will increase the number of…
With PacBio HiFi sequencing data now readily available for organisms of any size, many exciting results have been published featuring new de novo assembly methods optimized for highly accurate long…
UPDATE — November 17, 2020: This paper is now published in Scientific Data. ORIGINAL POST It’s been more than a year since we introduced HiFi sequencing to generate highly accurate…
UPDATE — September 1, 2020: This paper is now published in Genome Research. ORIGINAL POST — April 1, 2020 In a new preprint, scientists from the National Human Genome Research…
Traditional RNA-Seq is done by fragmenting cDNA, and then sequencing the fragmented reads with paired-end sequencing. The problem comes when trying to identify the full-length isoform during assembly. This is…
You may have missed last week’s Advances in Genome Biology & Technology conference in sunny Marco Island, Fla., but you definitely shouldn’t miss the two posters presented there by Justin…
Today we’re pleased to announce the release of Sequel System 6.0, including new software, consumable reagents and a new SMRT Cell. Combined, the enhancements in the release improve the performance and affordability of…
We’re proud to announce the release of the most contiguous diploid human genome assembly of a single individual to date, representing the nearly complete DNA sequence from all 46 chromosomes…
A map of every individual’s genome will soon be possible, but how will we know if it is correct? Benchmarks are needed in order to check the performance of sequencing,…
When was the last time you sent your DNA off to a day at the spa? Olga Pettersson of the SciLifeLab at Uppsala University lets her molecules relax for up…
Nature Methods just published “Accurate detection of complex structural variations using single-molecule sequencing,” a publication that presents the NGMLR aligner and Sniffles structural variant caller, both designed for use with…
Genomic data standards will be essential for continuing the growth of genomics and ensuring its smooth transition into the clinic, according to a new Bio-IT World article written by PacBio…
