This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
In the sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, interstellar explorers hitch rides aboard ships that take them on wild, unexpected journeys across the cosmos. In a new…
With Father’s Day around the corner, we’re raising a glass in honor of the dads, granddads, and father figures who show up with heart, humor, and a helping hand….
If you’re looking for good advice on how to live a long and healthy life, you might ask someone who’s been around the block a few times. Or, in…
At PacBio, we see genomics as a powerful way to help protect Earth’s biodiversity. Around the world, researchers are working to sequence tens of thousands of species, gaining insights…
The world is moving at a fast pace, isn’t it? Climate shifts, growing populations, and changing ecosystems are stacking up some serious challenges for species all over the planet, including…
After last year’s humongous achievement of assembling the 100 Gb mistletoe genome, it is very exciting to see many more holiday associated species assembled by the Darwin Tree of Life…
The new Revio long-read sequencing system, with its first customer shipment in March 2023, has changed the game in genomics. It enables researchers to access an entirely new echelon of…
This year, the scientific community has achieved many “firsts” – across genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes, metagenomes, and more – with long and accurate HiFi sequencing. Another, seasonally timely, “first” was just…
PacBio is driven to create the most sophisticated multiomic sequencing technologies in the world so that you can forge a new frontier in biology. Through the SMRT Grant program, PacBio awards free HiFi sequencing services to outstanding…
The paradigm shifts in human genetics research that are powered by PacBio sequencing have been described in numerous publications, and we have highlighted some of these previously, e.g. for the…
Embarking on a new voyage of discovery can be one of the most satisfying, motivating, and exciting aspects of being a scientist. However, finding resources and technical solutions to meet…
PacBio HiFi sequencing has been utilized to generate reference-quality genomes in many studies, most notably in finally completing a human genome. Following this work, the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium…
When you’re dealing with insects, fungi and microbes with short life cycles and rapid reproduction, you often encounter highly variable genetics within single populations. The complexities of genetics within…
As we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day, PacBio reflects on how the power of genomics can be harnessed in the spirit of this year’s theme: “invest in our…
How sequencing provides actionable insights in agriculture, conservation and ecology. What does genomics in action look like? At PAGBio Day 2022, we heard from scientists using high-quality genomic data…
