This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
We are excited to share highlights from the 2026 APAC PRISM event, held this year in Fukuoka, Japan. Located near Canal City, this PRISM event offered attendees the opportunity…
Onso short-read sequencing systems are no longer available through PacBio Scientific breakthroughs are rarely achieved in isolation. They require collaboration, cutting-edge techniques, and a platform where scientists can come together…
The PacBio team recently attended the AGBT (Advances in Genome Biology and Technology) Precision Health conference in San Diego, Calif. This was the seventh year of the conference, and it…
This spring, leading life science experts from 26 countries gathered at PacBio organized events to discuss exciting developments in HiFi sequencing technology, explore new genomic applications, and foster human…
Got an impossible polyploid or highly repetitive plant gene, or perhaps an enormous fungal genome or complex microbial community? Have an impossible dream of cracking pandemic, epidemic & endemic biology,…
The PacBio team recently attended the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2021 Virtual Meeting. The meeting provided a forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge science in all…
It’s a challenge that has haunted rare disease researchers for years: how to increase solve rates in rare and Mendelian disease. Currently, the genetic cause of more than half of…
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 difficulty…
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…
The year the world went virtual is virtually over, so what better time to reflect on all the great online offerings featuring SMRT Sequencing this year. While we would have…
It’s well known that finding the genetic cause of rare diseases can be complex — that’s why so many remain unsolved. But researchers are beginning to get a grasp on…
As the flurry of research around the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues at an unprecedented pace, scientists are beginning to tackle some of the more complex immunological responses with the help of…
It was a pleasure to attend the annual Advances in Genome Biology & Technology meeting in sunny Marco Island, Fla., last month. The conference has a long history of supporting…
What better way to start the year than a gathering of thousands of stellar scientists? We were excited, once again, to attend the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG) Conference in…
With the release of the award-winning Sequel II System, 2019 was an exciting year for the SMRT Sequencing community. We were inspired by our users’ significant contributions to science across…
