Application Brief: Large genome whole genome sequencing – Best Practices

PacBio

2018

Summary +

Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing on the Sequel System enables easy and affordable generation of high- quality de novo assemblies of even the most complex plant and animal genomes. With megabase-size contig N50s, consensus accuracies >99.99%, and tools for phasing haplotypes you can capture undetected SNVs, fully intact genes, and regulatory regions embedded in complex structures that fragmented draft genomes often miss.

Application Brief: Targeted Sequencing of Amplicons – Best Practices

PacBio

2018

Summary +

With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel System, you can easily and cost effectively generate high-fidelity, long reads (>99% single-molecule read accuracy) from genes or regions of interest ranging in size from several hundred base pairs to 20 kb. Target all types of variation across relevant genomic regions, including low complexity regions like repeat expansions, promoters, and flanking regions of transposable elements.

Application Brief: Long-read RNA sequencing – Best Practices

PacBio

2018

Summary +

With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel System, you can easily and affordably sequence transcript isoforms of up to 10 kb in their entirety. The Iso-Seq method allows users to generate full-length cDNA sequences — with no assembly required — in order to confidently characterize the full complement of transcript isoforms within targeted genes, or across an entire transcriptome.

Application Brief: Low-coverage, long-read whole genome sequencing for structural variation – Best Practices

PacBio

2018

Summary +

With the Sequel System, you can affordably and sensitively characterize structural variation (SV) of all types ranging in size from tens to thousands of base pairs. Low-coverage, long-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) data provides rapid discovery of common SVs for population genetics studies and resolves rare SVs unique to an individual, with a very low false-discovery rate.

De Novo Assembly Brochure: Assembly options for your SMRT Sequencing data

PacBio

2018

Summary +

It is now easier and more affordable than ever to do a genome project with PacBio Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing—the gold standard for generating contiguous, highly accurate reference genomes. Assembly is no longer a challenge with the wealth of bioinformatics tools developed and optimized for SMRT Sequencing data, enabling you to generate high-quality genome assemblies on any budget.

Application Note: Microbial multiplexing workflow on the Sequel System

PacBio

2018

Summary +

Obtaining microbial genomes with the highest accuracy and contiguity is extremely important when exploring the functional impact of genetic and epigenetic variants on a genome-wide scale. A comprehensive view of the bacterial genome, including genes, regulatory regions, IS elements, phage integration sites, and base modifications is vital to understanding key traits such as antibiotic resistance, virulence, and metabolism. SMRT Sequencing provides complete genomes, often assembled into a single contig. Our streamlined microbial multiplexing procedure for the Sequel System, from library preparation to genome assembly, can be completed with less than 12 hours bench time. Starting with high-quality genomic DNA (gDNA), samples are sheared to a 10 kb distribution, ligated with barcoded adapters, pooled at equimolar representation, and sequenced. Demultiplexing of samples is automated, allowing for immediate genome assembly on our SMRT Link analysis software solution. The workflow supports up to 16-plex of de novo microbial genomes where the total genome sums up to 30 Mb on each SMRT Cell. As microbial genomes and gDNA samples vary in genetic complexity and quality, respectively, we describe general recommendations and best practices.

Core Lab Brochure: The most trusted long-read technology

PacBio

Summary +

SMRT Sequencing is Smart Business. Scientists rely on long-read sequencing to generate high-quality reference genomes, more accurate gene and transcript models, and an integrated view of the epigenome for their organisms of interest. Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing from PacBio is the most trusted long-read sequencing solution available today, delivering comprehensive genomic information for microbes, complex plant and animal genomes, and human biomedical research.

Technical Note: Preparing libraries for PacBio whole genome sequencing for de novo assembly – Quality control and size selection

PacBio

2018

Summary +

Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing uses the natural process of DNA replication to sequence long fragments of native DNA. As such, starting with high-quality, high molecular weight genomic DNA will result in longer libraries and better performance across difficult to sequence regions of the genome. This technical note is intended to give recommendations, tips and tricks for assessing and preserving the quality and size of your SMRTbell library, and size selection procedures for libraries intended to be used with whole genome sequencing for de novo assembly.

Technical Note: Preparing DNA for PacBio whole genome sequencing for de novo assembly – Quality control and shearing

PacBio

2018

Summary +

Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing uses the natural process of DNA replication to sequence long fragments of native DNA. As such, starting with high-quality, high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA (gDNA) will result in longer libraries and better performance across difficult to sequence regions of the genome. This technical note is intended to give recommendations, tips and tricks for assessing and preserving the quality and size of your gDNA sample, shearing methods, and size selection procedures for samples intended to be used with whole genome sequencing for de novo assembly.

Technical Note: Preparing samples for PacBio whole genome sequencing for de novo assembly – Collection and storage

PacBio

2018

Summary +

Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing uses the natural process of DNA replication to sequence long fragments of native DNA. As such, starting with high-quality, high molecular weight (HMW) genomic DNA (gDNA) will result in better sequencing performance across difficult to sequence regions of the genome. To obtain the highest quality, long DNA it is important to start with sample types compatible with HMW DNA extraction methods. This technical note is intended to give general guidance on sample collection, preparation, and storage across a range of commonly encountered sample types used for SMRT Sequencing whole genome projects. It is important to note that all samples and projects are unique and may not be comprehensively addressed in this document.
