This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
UPDATED February 21, 2018 Congratulations to Winston Timp’s team on the publication of their Iso-Seq analysis of hummingbird! The paper is now available at GigaScience. ORIGINAL POST April 4, 2017…
A project that sparked widespread interest and a successful science crowdsourcing campaign has inspired an international collaboration that produced two high-quality reference genomes, as well as a draft genome of…
The Mexican salamander, or the axolotl, may have tiny feet, but the feat of decoding its genetic footprint was huge—32 billion base pairs huge, making it ten times bigger than…
Scientists from the University at Buffalo, Nanyang Technological University, and other institutions published results from an effort to elucidate the Utricularia gibba genome using SMRT Sequencing. U. gibba, also known…
In an unprecedented crowd-sourced effort stoked by social media, 72 scientists collaborated via 25 conference calls and 3,323 emails to produce a new high-quality Aedes aegypti mosquito genome. Assembled using…
Nematodes are both simple and complex, making them one of the most attractive animal taxa to study basic biological processes, including genome evolution. Studies in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, for…
Sunflowers with verticillium wilt caused by V. dahliae In a new mBio publication, scientists from Wageningen University and KeyGene in The Netherlands report results from several strategies used to assemble…
A new PLoS One publication from scientists at the Joint Genome Institute, University of Minnesota, and other organizations demonstrates that fungal genomes may contain far more transcript diversity than previously…
Update 1/13/14: A new data release of Arabidopsis using P5-C3 chemistry is available Advances in our chemistries, throughput, and read length are pushing the envelope in the way we tackle…
Orpinomyces is found in cattle rumen. Scientists from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma teamed up with a sequencing service provider to study the genome of an anaerobic…
Scientists at the University of Oslo’s Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) have used multi-kilobase sequence reads from the PacBio® RS sequencer to produce a dramatically improved genome assembly…
It was great to visit sunny San Diego for the International Plant and Animal Genome meeting last month. We were impressed with the quality of talks and posters, and we…
We’re pleased to be hosting a workshop at the 21st annual International Plant & Animal Genome conference in San Diego next week — and whether you’re attending or not, we…
