PacBio Literature

The Kinnex single-cell RNA kit is compatible with cDNA generated using the Visium HD 3' Spatial Gene Expression assay for creating a sequencing-ready library that can run on PacBio sequencing systems.

SMRT Link Cloud is a free, PacBio-hosted version of SMRT Link that removes the need for IT maintenance.

With HiFi target enrichment you can easily and cost-effectively sequence just the genes you care about at scale. Design custom gene panels with our partners at Twist, sequence them with long and accurate HiFi reads, and get all the benefits you expect from HiFi reads: comprehensive detection of single nucleotide variants, structural variants, and indels. HiFi target enrichment is the only technology that can resolve complex gene families like HLA or Cytochrome P450 genes with haplotype resolution.

Other sequencing methods suffer from shortcomings like an inability to capture the backbone sequence or low accuracy in difficult genomic regions such as homopolymers or regions of high GC content. PacBio® HiFi sequencing overcomes these limitations and allows you to capture the full plasmid sequence, including backbone and difficult regions.

The whole genome sequencing (WGS) application requires an up-front mechanical DNA shearing step to transform genomic DNA into fragment sizes appropriate for HiFi sequencing. With the Hamilton Microlab Prep system, this step can be performed in as little as 22 minutes for 24 samples at the cost of a pipette tip per sample. Here we describe the required equipment and consumables, best practices, and procedure for shearing DNA on the Microlab Prep system.

Fiber-seq is a powerful new long-read whole genome sequencing assay that overcomes the challenges imposed by short-read chromatin sequencing.

This application note demonstrates that DNA extracted from whole blood and saliva samples using the Nanobind kits yields high-quality HiFi sequencing data.

With PacBio long reads you can easily and cost-effectively sequence the full length of amplicons that target genes or regions of interest, from several hundred base pairs to kilobase scale. Highly accurate HiFi reads allow you to target across types of variation, from single nucleotide variants and indels, to structural variants. It also enables unambiguous haplotype resolution through direct phasing. HiFi sequencing can reveal biology that other technologies miss, like low-complexity regions, repeat expansions, GC-rich promoter regions, and insertion sites of transposable elements.

This application note details the PureTarget carrier panel targets, presents example performance, and provides a technical overview of the methods, workflow, and analysis pipeline.

Powered by the exceptional accuracy of HiFi sequencing and the Tandem Repeat Genotyping Tool (TRGT), the PacBio® PureTarget™ repeat expansion panel offers more comprehensive genotyping for 20 of the most important repeat expansions for human health. This application note demonstrates the performance of the PureTarget repeat expansion panel, and presents the PureTarget panel as a scalable, more comprehensive solution for profiling repeat expansions, compared to legacy genotyping and next-generation sequencing methods.

PureTarget offers an easy and scalable workflow to capture repeat expansions and brings you from sample to answer in three days. Compatible with the RevioTM and Sequel® II systems, PureTarget libraries can be multiplexed with up to 48 samples, generating deep coverage across the 20-gene target panel.
