This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
Scientists from the Institute of Biological Sciences at the University of Malaya recently published a description of Pandoraea sp. strain RB-44 in Genome Announcements, a journal from the American Society…
We’re delighted to report that Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing will be a crucial technology in a new research program conducted by the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The…
Scientist Ken Dewar from McGill University discusses his vast expertise in next-generation sequencing, some little-known facts about the launch of the 454 platform, and a revolutionary business idea for researchers…
Today we announced the release of a software upgrade for our Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) DNA Sequencing platform. SMRT Analysis 2.2 provides enhanced functionality to support two additional applications that…
If you love long reads, you won’t want to miss this week’s webinar on sample prep for Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing. We will focus on automation solutions for 10…
A new paper published in Cell Reports describes how Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing can be used to greatly improve outcome reporting for a variety of popular genome-editing approaches. “Quantifying…
A paper in BioMed Central’s Biotechnology for Biofuels journal demonstrates how finished microbial genomes using Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing are having an impact on the biotechnology industry. The publication,…
Members of the PacBio team will be heading down to Albuquerque this weekend for the annual conference of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF). It’s a big year for…
A new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences from the laboratories of Stephen R. Quake and Thomas C. Südhof (both at Stanford University) describes the direct,…
There were several excellent talks showcasing SMRT® Sequencing data at the annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference. If you didn’t have the opportunity to see them in person,…
A paper recently published in mBio, an open access journal from the American Society for Microbiology, reports on the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of several drug-resistant strains of a pathogen…
Friday morning’s talks were exceptional, and included genomics heavy-hitters Dick McCombie and Gene Myers — both scientists who were truly influential in sequencing the human genome so many years ago….
AGBT 2014 is off to a roaring start – the opening reception was hastily moved indoors when an impressive thunderstorm joined the party. Wednesday’s kickoff plenary session offered an insightful…
We are pleased to make publicly available a new shotgun sequence dataset of long PacBio® reads from a human DNA sample. We previously released sequence data using Single Molecule, Real-Time…
We are flying cross-country to Marco Island, Florida, to attend the fifteenth annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference and, as we have done for years now, we are…
