This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
PacBio is helping researchers usher in a new era of genomics with cost-effective tools to accurately identify human disease-causing tandem repeat changes and detailed sequences of specific genes at scale….
In this article, we discuss PacBio RNA sequencing through the lens of our most recent Iso-Seq Social club event. Read about the exciting scientific wins that were shared, and…
Pseudogenes are typically regarded as non-functional DNA elements, and have therefore not received as much attention as their parent genes. Thanks to PacBio HiFi sequencing, many pseudogenes now RISE…
The PacBio team recently attended the AGBT (Advances in Genome Biology and Technology) Precision Health conference in San Diego, Calif. This was the seventh year of the conference,…
The combined accuracy, read length, and coverage uniformity of PacBio HiFi sequence reads enables the characterization of many previously inaccessible regions in the genome. Two new preprints by Oscar…
More precise data provided by PacBio HiFi sequencing can have a marked impact on the resolving power in genetic association studies and decrease the required cohort sizes. As a…
Is it possible to save time and resources while also increasing the quality of data you receive? For many, this might seem impossible. But recently, some researchers have found that…
What would be possible if every human genetics researcher had a complete reference genome? Today, researchers use a good – but incomplete – reference genome released in 2013. As…
Over one million Canadians are impacted by rare genetic diseases, and over a third of these remain unsolved. For some families, this has led to decades-long diagnostic odysseys to find…
The PacBio team recently attended the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2021 Virtual Meeting. The meeting provided a forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge science in all…
A new Nature Communications paper shows how scientists continue to make progress elucidating some of the most complex regions of the human genome by deploying long-read PacBio sequencing…
As technology developers, one of our greatest joys is seeing how customers take our sequencing tools and deploy them for innovative and compelling new projects. Metagenomics has been one of…
Here at PacBio, we have had the privilege of awarding many SMRT Grants to intrepid scientists who believe that HiFi sequencing data can help them achieve their goals. Recently, we…
It’s a moment three decades in the making: the first complete human genome assembly is here! Reading this you will no doubt feel some sense of déjà vu. After all,…
The power of PacBio HiFi reads has enabled transformative research into human disease. A new collaboration with Invitae, a leader in medical genetics, is intended to help harness the technology…
