This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
A new publication from scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Joint Genome Institute, and other organizations reports a landmark study of genome-wide methylation in prokaryotes. The analyses of 230…
Today we are celebrating Rare Disease Day with like-minded folks all over the world. The tribute kicked off in 2008 and has gathered so much momentum that people in more…
In a perspective recently published in Science magazine, scientists Allyson Byrd and Julie Segre from the National Human Genome Research Institute used recent advances in microbial analysis to look at…
This month serves as the 15th anniversary of the first publication of the human genome by both public and private efforts. PacBio CEO Mike Hunkapiller was a central player in…
On the final day of AGBT, attendees strapped in for the last talks of the conference before the ’80s-themed dance party to close out the meeting. Two of those talks focused on…
We’ve been in the genomics world long enough to remember when it was a big deal to see a great single-gene assembly or microbial genome assembly reported in an AGBT…
This year’s AGBT presentations took our minds off how much we missed the Marco Island beach. Wednesday’s opening plenary talks ranged from the ocean virome to Ebola and beyond. David…
Here’s the video of our AGBT 2016 workshop. We’d like to thank our speakers for a great event. Enjoy!
We’re packing our bags for Orlando and the 17th annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) conference! While we’ll miss the usual Marco Island setting, this year’s talks and…
We recently introduced our Genome Galaxy Initiative in partnership with Experiment, through which we’re helping scientists fund genomic research for the benefit of science and society. One of the first…
On the heels of her remarkable paper tracing influenza evolution in a single host last spring, New York University’s Elodie Ghedin has come out with a new publication in Nature…
Blog readers know that we are committed to supporting open-access research, from working with the informatics developer community to develop improved tools to releasing SMRT Sequencing data so scientists can…
For Jim Lupski, his long-standing interest in the field of genomics is both personal and professional. His personal interest dates from his teenage years, when he was diagnosed with a…
When Doreen Ware and her team’s latest genome project is complete, the plant science community will have a critical new tool that once seemed virtually impossible: a robust reference assembly…
In an article entitled “Long-read single-molecule real-time (SMRT) full gene sequencing of cytochrome P450-2D6 (CYP2D6)” in Human Mutation, authors Wangiong Qiao, Yao Yang, Stuart Scott and other colleagues at the…
