This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
Microbiologists have been at the forefront of genomics since Haemophilus influenzae became the first organism to have its full genome sequenced in 1995 using Sanger sequencing. Even with modern technology,…
BioMed Central has published an interesting Q&A session on its Biome blog with Nobel Laureate Richard Roberts about why he believes in SMRT Sequencing and thinks non-users should take another…
The 100K Foodborne Pathogen Genome Project announced the contribution of 20 newly finished genomes of microbes responsible for foodborne disease, and we’re pleased to report that they were sequenced and…
We recently participated in a workshop on whole-genome microbial epigenetics at the American Society for Microbiology annual meeting in Denver. Using SMRT® Sequencing, the three most common types of bacterial…
A new analysis from public health scientists has found that the cholera strain responsible for the 2010 outbreak in Haiti has a limited ability to add to its genetic repertoire…
by Jonas Korlach, Chief Scientific Officer Finished genomes were the focus of last month’s Sequencing, Finishing, Analysis in the Future (SFAF) meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In addition to…
A paper recently published in Nature Methods offers a deep dive into the use of our HGAP and Quiver tools to generate a high-quality genome assembly with an automated, simplified…
A new review paper from Brigid Davis, Michael Chao, and Matthew Waldor at Harvard Medical School considers a number of recent studies and findings that have used single molecule, real-time…
A newly reported Salmonella genome showcases the utility of single molecule, real-time (SMRT®) sequencing for characterizing a foodborne outbreak pathogen. The outbreak strain, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Javiana (S….
This springtime, we’ve got microbes on the brain! The annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology is just over a month away, so we’ve been thinking a lot about…
We’re pleased to share with you a recent article from Microbe magazine, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology, from Eric Schadt, founding director of the Icahn Institute for…
If you’ll be heading to Denver for the American Society for Microbiology annual meeting on May 18-21, don’t miss the pre-conference workshop on whole-genome microbial epigenetics. New studies are continually…
