Cancer brochure
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.
Application note – CiFi Long-read multi contact 3C for chromosome scale assemblies using PacBio HiFi reads
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.
