This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
The Revio system offers faster and more cost-effective long-read sequencing for metagenomics researchers, allowing for more high-quality and complete microbial datasets and access to new frontiers of discovery. The best…
After conducting a battery of technology comparisons, OpGen’s Ares Genetics has adopted PacBio HiFi microbial whole genome sequencing. The company believes the read length and high accuracy of HiFi…
Full-length 16S and shotgun metagenome HiFi sequencing with certified PacBio service providers can deliver remarkably affordable microbiome and metagenomic data with explanatory power that is second to none. Gaps, assembly…
HiFi sequencing delivers the most accurate and comprehensive microbial sequence data possible to give food safety and public health professionals the clarity they need to better understand contaminants…
Microbial and metagenomics enthusiasts rejoice: newly optimized bioinformatics pipelines are enabling scientists to detect even more species and assemble more single contig metagenomes using HiFi sequencing than ever before…
At PacBio, we understand the profound importance of microbial research. As the foundation of the biosphere and major determinants of human health, microbes claim a primary, fundamental role in…
The dog days of summer might be behind us, but our four-part Microbial Genomics Webinar Series is sticking around as a focal point of the summer. From the end…
A new paper from scientists at the Max Planck Institute offers a great look at how HiFi sequencing delivers significantly improved results for metagenome studies compared to short-read data. In…
Vaccine safety is of the utmost importance. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract illness in infants and young children. Much like the…
Celiac disease happens in the gut, but scientists still don’t fully understand the complex interplay between host genetics and the environmental factors that lead to the development of the autoimmune…
Assembly and binning of metagenome data are the first steps in many metagenomics analysis pipelines, and with good reason. Metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) and circularized MAGs (CMAGs) allow recovery of…
As the world faces an unprecedented pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, the scientific spotlight has shone brightly on infectious disease research. And although interest in Public Health England’s (PHE)…
Analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA has been used for phylogenetics and identifying prokaryotes for decades. But just as scientists have had to refine the Linnaean taxonomy system based on genomic…
How do bacteria manipulate plant biology to cause blight and rot? Why are some pathogen strains more virulent than others? How can we engineer resistant staple food crops? These are…
We hear a lot about the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance in human health, but it turns out this is just the most visible place it appears as it moves…
