This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
A global collaboration of researchers has produced what is likely the most contiguous assembly of a fish genome to date. “Chromosomal-Level Assembly of the Asian Seabass Genome Using Long Sequence…
Congratulations to the winner of the first-ever SMRT Grant program decided by the community: Renying Zhuo of the Chinese Academy of Forestry! We ran polling through our Genome Galaxy Initiative…
There are several PacBio user meetings coming up, and with locations around the world we hope you’ll be able to attend one of them. These meetings are a great way…
We’ve got several educational webinars coming up, and we hope you can join us! Our first event will be hosted by Front Line Genomics on April 28 (4:00 p.m. BST…
Happy DNA Day, everyone! This scientific celebration has us reflecting on the many advancements the community has made in the past year. For a molecule that is sequenced thousands of…
Scientists from the Joint Genome Institute and other institutions recently reported a new SMRT Sequencing approach to microbial profiling using full-length sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. In a benchmarking…
A new PNAS paper offers the first detailed analysis of the Anopheles gambiae Y chromosome, which could prove critical for biological and infectious disease research. The report uncovered extensive remodeling…
In a new Nature Genetics paper, scientists from the University of Tokyo and several other Japanese institutes and hospitals present results of a sweeping study of gene fusions driving a…
The PacBio team is gearing up for the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which will be held April 16-20 in New Orleans. We’re looking forward…
At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, scientists used SMRT® Sequencing to decode one of the most challenging cancer genomes ever encountered. Along the way, they built a portfolio of open-access analysis…
For the first time ever, the winner of this year’s “Explore Your Most Interesting Genome” SMRT Grant program will be decided by the community. We’ll be using our new Genome…
In a Science paper published today, scientists from the University of Washington, the McDonnell Genome Institute, and other organizations present a new gorilla genome assembly generated with PacBio long-read sequencing,…
In a new Nature publication, scientists from Yale and other institutions report the discovery of N6-methyladenine (N6-mA) in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), contrary to the conventional wisdom that the…
Much like the “sharpen” tool in Photoshop brings a picture into tighter focus and enhances the fine detail, long-read sequencing offers enhanced resolution of genomic information, according to Cold Spring…
New Zealand is more than an amazing vacation destination or the setting of the Lord of the Rings movies; it’s also home to a wealth of fascinating species that evolved…
