Discover genomic variations in regions of high interest
Zoom in on genes or regions and detect all variant types including rare SNPs, indels, structural variants
Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing enables you to detect all variant types such as structural variants, rare SNPs, indels, copy number variation, microsatellites, haplotypes, and phased alleles while sequencing through low complexity regions like repeat expansions, promoters, and flanking regions of transposable elements. Explore the targeted sequencing applications and workflows.
Targeted Sequencing
Utilize highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads, >99% single-molecule read accuracy) to sequence targets ranging in size from several hundred base pairs to 20 kb. Choose between push-button solutions in SMRT Analysis or flexible command-line tools utilizing industry standard workflows.
