PacBio Literature

With an average of eight complete genes per HiFi read, PacBio® data provides rich functional information; nearly every read contributes to the understanding of the biological functions present in the microbial community

Accurate and flexible HiFi solutions for metagenomics and microbiome sequencing allow researchers to study microbes and microbial communities in high resolution without the need for culturing.

Detect, track, and characterize pathogens to a new standard of completeness and precision. PacBio® solutions offer unmatched accuracy and long read lengths to support a wide range of pathogen surveillance applications.

PacBio in collaboration with Covaris has developed a workflow that enables extraction, preparation, and sequencing of FFPE-derived DNA for HiFi sequencing. This approach overcomes traditional limitations and unlocks FFPE samples for high-resolution, long-read genomic analysis.

Highly accurate long-read RNA sequencing reveals novel mechanisms of RNA dysregulation in cancer

Affordably scale your HiFi sequencing with SPRQ-Nx chemistry to generate more complete genomes, full-length transcriptomes, and metagenomes, while detecting more variant types and direct methylation. Achieve greater resolution in your projects with the exceptional HiFi accuracy of 90% of bases at Q30+. Enjoy on-instrument primary analysis with automatic conversion to the standard BAM format – so you can make meaningful insights faster.

The Vega system is an innovative Revio technology, reimagined in a benchtop solution with seamless integration with HiFi library prep workflows and SMRT Link run management software. On-instrument primary analysis, including DeepConsensus, methylation calling, and optional barcode demultiplexing in every run.

Understanding the complexity of cancer genomes requires methods that can reveal the full breadth of cancer genomic variation, from SNVs and indels to structural variants (SVs), copy number variants (CNVs), and differential methylation. HiFi long-read sequencing allows cancer researchers to characterize the complete spectrum of somatic and germline variation, including SVs and methylation, yielding a clearer view of cancer biology and helping to identify new therapeutic targets and inform clinical decision making.

Comprehensive genome sequencing data integrated with chromatin interaction information is crucial for complete, chromosome-scale genome assembly. CiFi (pronounced “Sci-Fi”) is a new application developed by the sequencing community that integrates chromatin conformation capture (3C) with PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing to generate highly accurate, multi-contact reads.

Highly accurate long reads — HiFi reads — are the new benchmark for full-length 16S, metagenome profiling, and metagenome assembly. Determine community composition at the species or strain level with competitively priced full-length 16S sequencing. Generate hundreds of high-quality (HQ) metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs), many of which are circular single contigs. Profile metagenomes efficiently and cost-effectively with an average of eight full-length genes in every HiFi read. Leverage epigenomic data to associate contigs and plasmids from closely related strains.

Microbial genomics with PacBio long-read HiFi sequencing is accurate, scalable, and cost effective. Automated end-to-end workflows from extraction to analysis and optimized kits drive greater throughput for HiFi microbial sequencing at lower cost including microbial whole genome sequencing, full-length 16s/ITS sequencing, viral sequencing and shotgun metagenome sequencing.

Make reference-quality genomes your new standard practice with highly accurate long reads—HiFi reads—and the PacBio end-to-end workflow. Generate closed chromosomes and plasmids. Identify ever-evolving genes associated with toxicity, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance. Precisely identify strains, serotypes, and plasmids to help track pathogen outbreaks in human, plant, and animal species, through food systems, hospitals, and communities. More comprehensively characterize microbes to facilitate scientific breakthroughs and discovery
