This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
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…
A new paper from scientists in Switzerland and the US adds to recent findings about diversity of neuronal transcripts in the mammalian brain. The authors report that this study was…
As part of its continuing series on long-read sequencing, last week Mendelspod aired an engaging interview with Eric Schadt, Professor & Chair of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, and Director of…
Dan Geraghty, a researcher at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and CEO of Scisco Genetics, has spent much of his career focused on the genetics of immune response. Recently he…
In two new publications, one published today, scientists from Australia, Italy, the UK, and the US report critical and surprising new findings about DNA methylation-related complexity of bacteria. Adding to…
In the current issue of Science there is an interesting Perspective by Scott Beatson and Mark Walker of the University of Queensland discussing research published this week in Science Translational…
A paper just released in BMC Genomics details what authors call “the most complete filarial nematode assembly published thus far at a fraction of the cost of previous efforts.” The…
A study launched over concerns around hospital-acquired infections has led to a recommendation for better microbial screening of patients upon admission. The research, from scientists at several NIH institutes, found…
Mendelspod host Theral Timpson kicked off a new podcast series this week on long-read sequencing that will include interviews with luminaries in the genomics field. Check out this introductory article…
A recent publication from senior author Laura Landweber at Princeton University offers a remarkable and unexpected look at sweeping genomic rearrangements in a unicellular organism. “The Architecture of a Scrambled…
Scientists in Florida and Finland recently published a report of their work studying methylation patterns in two human microbiome samples. While microbiome studies have become quite popular, the authors note…
After so many compelling customer projects for microbial genomes, it’s been rewarding to see more scientists turning to Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing for larger genomes, such as plants and…
A recent paper from scientists in China and the United States demonstrates a novel view of phosphorothioate (PT) DNA modifications in two bacterial genomes. Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University,…
At ISMB 2014 in Boston earlier this month, Gene Myers of the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, presented a keynote address entitled “DNA Assembly: Past, Present, and…
We’re eager for the #ISMB conference — it’s the 22nd annual Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology event — kicking off this weekend in Boston. As we continue to push our…
