This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
Cancer is often described as a disease of the genome, but this underlying biology introduces layers of complexity. Some cancer variants are inherited, whereas others emerge over time. Several…
Our latest roundup highlights the diverse ways researchers are using PacBio HiFi sequencing to uncover new insights across rare disease, cancer, and transcriptomics. The year has started strongly, with…
Basecamp Research’s recent selection of PacBio HiFi sequencing to support its Trillion Gene Atlas initiative highlights an important shift in biological AI: the future will not be shaped by…
Accurately capturing immune diversity is critical to advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms and enabling the development of more precise and effective therapies. However, conventional immune profiling technologies lack…
In cancer genomics, assumptions have a short shelf life. Not long ago we published a blog series debunking several common myths about long-read sequencing. At the time, many of…
Cancer is not driven by DNA sequence mutations alone. Chemical modifications layered onto DNA can reshape gene regulation without altering the underlying code, silencing tumor suppressors, activating oncogenes, and…
We’ve loved sharing the Beyond the Bench series with audiences this year. So far, we’re hearing from viewers how much they value seeing the human side of genomics, and…
This rare disease month, we’ve explored the power of telling families’ stories and the impact of adopting HiFi sequencing in real-world settings. Each perspective is a valuable piece of…
When you work in rare disease, you recognize the pattern: Test. Wait. Repeat. For families, that loop is a stretch of time that includes birthdays, school years, and treatment…
Rare diseases are often described in numbers. Prevalence rates. Case counts. Years to diagnosis. But for families living with rare disease, those numbers are only part of the story….
Long-read whole genome sequencing is starting to show up in places it rarely could before. With the introduction of SPRQ-Nx, HiFi sequencing has now become the most affordable long-read…
With the PacBio Beyond the Bench video series now live, we’re feeling the enthusiasm surrounding a personal look at scientists’ lives and the rituals that anchor their work. This…
Oftentimes in biology, the biggest advances come from new ways of measuring complex systems, rather than a single discovery in itself. This publication spotlight highlights a recent Nature Biotechnology…
Epigenetics offers critical insight into how the genome is regulated beyond DNA sequence alone, shaping cellular identity, function, and disease. Along with our co-sponsor EpiCypher, we are excited to…
It’s 2026 and there’s no better time than now to look back at 2025 and celebrate its meaningful impact in genomics. In 2025, PacBio focused on driving technical advances,…
