You Bring Sequencing to Life
Our SMRT Grant Programs support outstanding research projects that advance scientific discovery with long-read sequencing. From the microbiome, to dancing dingoes, disease genes and beyond!
Calling All Scientists
Have an interesting research project that could benefit from Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing? Apply for an upcoming SMRT Grant Program to win sequencing from one of our Certified Service Providers.
