SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR MICROBIAL SEQUENCING
Microbes account for most of the diversity of life on our planet, yet fewer than 1% have been identified. To understand this ever-evolving world, scientists need the unbiased, accurate, and comprehensive information that only PacBio long-read sequencing can provide.

SHAPING THE FUTURE
FUTURE-PROOF YOUR LAB — COVID-19 SURVEILLANCE WITH THE HIFIVIRAL SARS-CoV-2 KIT
Recent Omicron sequencing data shows how the HiFiViral kit can help your lab avoid SARS-CoV-2 surveillance disruptions when new variants arise while saving on time, labor and plastics.
Flexible and scalable HiFi sequencing for microbial genomics research
HiFi sequencing applications give researchers more complete and detailed information about microbial genomes, spurring new insights into host-pathogen dynamics, microbial evolution and adaptation, and critical traits including drug resistance, infectivity, and virulence.
Track the evolution of viral populations
Achieve accurate surveillance of viral populations in a host, within a community, or across geographic regions by phasing entire viral genes or genomes.
Resolve bacterial strains, serotypes, and plasmids
Track pathogen outbreaks in humans, plants, and animals through food systems, hospitals, and communities with affordable, high throughput, high quality whole genome sequencing.
Improve gene discovery
Obtain improved gene discovery with reliably closed highly accurate bacterial genomes.
Correlate specific species
Distinguish community composition at the strain level to correlate specific species to difference in metagenome function or systemic outcomes.
Connect metagenome community functions
Use closed and high-quality MAGs to align metagenome community functions to specific strains.
The power of HiFi Sequencing for metagenome assembly
One way to improve assembly completeness and contiguity is to use long-read sequencing. However, not all long reads are the same. Did you know that once read lengths are longer than most of the repeats in a genome or metagenome, incremental gains in raw read accuracy improve assemblies faster than higher coverage or even large gains in read length?
APPLICATIONS TO FUEL MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH
MICROBIAL WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING
Learn how affordable it is to upgrade your draft-quality microbial whole genome sequencing pipeline to consistently produce closed, reference-quality genomes.
VIRUS SEQUENCING
Explore how scientists are using HiFi sequencing to understand viral evolution and host-pathogen dynamics.
METAGENOME SEQUENCING AND ASSEMBLY
Overcome the challenge of distinguishing reads from closely related strains in a metagenome sample with long, highly accurate HiFi reads, yielding more and higher quality MAGs than what can be achieved with other technologies.
BENEFITS OF MICROBIAL SEQUENCING
TRACK THE SPREAD AND TRAITS OF PATHOGENS
Scientists in commercial, academic, and government research teams are using highly accurate HiFi sequencing data to resolve variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that exist within one individual or across a cohort, which is critical to developing and maintaining effective diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics.
ACCELERATE DISCOVERY AND ADVANCE RESEARCH
PacBio allows microbiology researchers to fully characterize microbial organisms, dissect complex microbial communities, and identify emerging pathogens with high accuracy enabling scientists around the world to accelerate discovery, advance research, and protect human, animal, and environmental health.
Microbial whole genome sequencing best practices
IDENTIFY AND TRACK ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern and is a significant threat to human and animal health. PacBio sequencing can identify strain characteristics, AMR genes, and mobile vectors mediating the spread of drug resistance.
CONNECTING THE MICROBIOME TO OUTCOMES IN HUMAN HEALTH
The microbiome comprises trillions of microorganisms living on and inside each of us. PacBio is helping scientists unravel the complex interplay between microbiomes and the full scope of its potential for treating disease and promoting health.
