This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
Scientists from Rutgers University and the University of California, Davis, used SMRT Sequencing to study structural variation in maize. They found that this approach delivered more complete information at lower…
PacBio customer HistoGenetics was just awarded a major, multi-year contract to perform HLA typing on as many as thousands of samples per week using SMRT Sequencing. The company is a…
A recent publication from scientists at the University of Florida and the University of Missouri used SMRT Sequencing to analyze epigenomic changes that occur when free-living bacteria associate with a…
Scientists from Yale University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center used SMRT Sequencing to determine whether antiretroviral therapies were triggering mitochondrial genome mutations in HIV patients. The results were recently…
A paper from scientists at Colorado State University and the National Center for Genome Resources provides an in-depth view of the transcriptome of sorghum, a crop that’s important for human…
A paper just out in Nature Communications reports the de novo genome assembly and transcriptome of a Chinese individual, generated from long-read SMRT Sequencing and other technologies. The effort revealed…
In a new publication from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, scientists produced a dataset for what authors call “the single largest collection of [full-length] cDNAs available in maize” and significantly improved…
We are excited about the release of a new genome assembly for the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which we hope will aid scientists in studying vector-pathogen dynamics, including those of the…
Many thanks to the nearly 200 scientists who signed up for our East Coast User Group Meeting, and to the Institute for Genome Sciences for hosting us! The event was a…
We’re pleased to launch the latest opportunity to have your favorite microbe sequenced on a PacBio System. The SMRTest Microbe Grant Program, kicking off at this year’s American Society for…
An updated case study about the Genomics Resource Center (GRC) at the University of Maryland’s Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) reports that SMRT Sequencing has become an integral tool for…
The PacBio team headed to New Orleans this past April to take in all the exciting new research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, show off…
Scientists from the UK published new work detailing important advances in protecting potatoes from the disease that caused the Irish potato famine in the 1800s. It’s not just of historical…
The PacBio team is looking forward to joining 3,000 other scientists in Barcelona May 21-24 for the European Human Genetics Conference, better known as ESHG. Organized by the European Society…
At the University of Arizona, a leading genomics research facility benefits from decades of BAC-based sequencing expertise, original studies of crop genomes, and a unique emphasis on high molecular weight…
