This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
A new publication in Nature Scientific Reports recommends using only the PacBio® system to sequence bacterial genomes for the best chance of generating an accurate and finished assembly. The paper,…
For some people, Mardi Gras and beignets are big attractions in New Orleans — but for us it’s all about the annual conference of the American Society for Microbiology. With…
A new publication in Nature Biotechnology reports the development of a lightning-fast genome assembly pipeline optimized for long reads. Scientists from the University of Maryland and the National Biodefense Analysis…
If you missed our recent webinar on isoform sequencing with the PacBio® platform, we’ve made the full recording available for on-demand access. “Iso-Seq™ Method: Sample Prep and Experimental Design for…
We’re pleased to announce the winner of our recent “Most Interesting Genome in the World” grant competition. Congratulations to Jay Keasling and Jeff Wong at the University of California, Berkeley!…
Scientists from Argentina and Brazil published the results of a study comparing long-read approaches to characterize the genome structure of a highly complex region of the Y chromosome in Drosophila…
We are proud to announce the introduction of several new solutions for targeted sequencing and sample multiplexing on the PacBio® Sequencing System. New Targeted Sequencing Workflow through Collaboration with Roche…
Hooray for DNA! We’re excited to celebrate this day as it it honors two major accomplishments in the field: the 1953 publication of the structure of DNA, and the 2003…
We’re looking forward to the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, which kicks off this weekend in Philadelphia. From directly phasing variants to sequencing full-length gene isoforms…
In a paper just published in BMC Genomics, a team of scientists led by Baylor’s Human Genome Sequencing Center reports a thorough analysis of structural variation in a personal genome….
Scientists from Uppsala University report in a recent paper that using the Iso-Seq™ method with SMRT® Sequencing allowed them to detect and monitor mutations in the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene for…
Day 3 of the AGBT conference was packed with interesting talks – we’ve covered a few highlights below. Admittedly, it took a little more caffeine than usual to power through…
Our AGBT workshop attracted more than 500 attendees thanks to the high-profile speakers who shared their perspectives on human genomic research. Because of the exclusivity of AGBT, we decided to…
The first full day of AGBT kicked off with a great talk from Evan Eichler from the University of Washington. Starting with the premise that characterizing genetic variation is key…
It is great to be here in Marco Island for the AGBT meeting! The 16th annual meeting hit the ground running with a pre-meeting workshop hosted by the Genome Reference…
