This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
A recent research partnership with KeyGene, a Dutch plant genomics and crop improvement company, has resulted in an integrated whole-genome assembly and transcriptome of Gossypium hirsutum, or tetraploid cotton. This…
If full-length transcript information would be useful for your research, please join us for two upcoming webinars. Our scientists will offer tips for how to optimize the Iso-Seq™ method with…
Emerging from a myriad of interesting genome nominations, from the American cranberry to South American prawns and African Guava, Oropetium thomaeum submitted by Todd Mockler at the Donald Danforth Plant…
By Jonas Korlach, Chief Scientific Officer All of us at Pacific Biosciences are very proud of the momentum SMRT® Sequencing achieved in 2014, especially due to the more than 500…
The 23rd annual International Plant and Animal Genome meeting is right around the corner – it’s taking place January 10-14 in sunny San Diego. The meeting has become an important…
Earlier this fall, we headed to Denver for ASHI, or the annual meeting of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics. Though we’d attended this conference in the past, this…
A new review article offers a nice overview of attempts to characterize the transcriptome of human stem cells using RNA-seq, the Iso-Seq™ method, and more. Kin Fai Au and Vittorio…
In a special issue of The Lancet dedicated to World War I, an article by scientists from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute used Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing to decode…
It’s been nearly two years since a team of scientists from the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine published the first-ever complete sequence of FMR1, the gene associated with…
A new paper out in Nature extends our view into the human genome and challenges current ideas about genetic variation. “Resolving the complexity of the human genome using single-molecule sequencing”…
In a recent interview with Theral Timpson — part of Mendelspod’s series on long-read sequencing — Ulf Gyllensten, a scientist at Uppsala University, spoke about using PacBio® technology for HLA…
In higher eukaryotic organisms, like humans, RNA transcripts from the vast majority of genes are alternatively spliced. Alternative splicing dramatically increases the protein-coding potential of eukaryotic genomes and its regulation…
This week marks the 40th annual meeting of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, better known in the community as ASHI. The PacBio® team is looking forward to attending;…
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new reagent kit, P6-C4, which represents the next generation of our polymerase as well as our chemistry. This kit replaces the…
Scientists around the world are getting ready for the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics taking place October 18-22 at the San Diego Convention Center. We’re looking…
