We’re pleased to announce the winner of our recent “SMRTest Microbe” grant competition. Congratulations to Dr. Erin Price at the Menzies School of Health Research in Australia! The grant program,…
Scientists from Griffith University, Ohio State University College of Medicine, and other institutions recently published a detailed study of phase-variable expression of a DNA methyltransferase in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, the…
A group of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and New York University used long-read sequencing from PacBio for a remarkable new study characterizing influenza virus evolution…
Following the recent paper about HLA typing from scientists at Anthony Nolan Research Institute, we thought readers might enjoy this webinar from Neema Mayor, a scientist at the institute and…
A recent paper in the journal Cell presents novel findings of DNA methylation in C. elegans, an organism previously believed not to have such epigenetic marks. Scientists used several approaches…
At the inaugural Festival of Genomics event in Boston, more than 1,500 people turned out to see what was billed as a conference unlike any other. The meeting was indeed…
A new publication in Nature Methods describes a new single-molecule assembly approach that resulted in “the most contiguous clone-free human genome assembly to date,” according to lead authors Matthew Pendleton,…
A new publication in PLoS One from authors at Anthony Nolan’s Research Institute describes a feasibility study for HLA typing using SMRT® Sequencing. The research institute, where the world’s first…
Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Saskatchewan teamed up to develop an innovative approach to methylation analysis using Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®)…
UPDATE: Our R&D team has added a new dataset for the MCF-7 human breast cancer transcriptome, originally released in 2013. The new results were produced using 28 SMRT® Cells with…
