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.

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.

With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel System, you can easily and affordably generate high-quality assemblies for even the most complex genomes. Users are regularly achieving plant and animal genome assemblies with megabase-size contig N50s and consensus accuracies >99%, resulting in the most complete genomes available today.

Due to technology limitations, repeat-expansion disorders have gone without the needed base-level resolution of the disease causative long repetitive elements. Enrichment of these hard-to-amplify genomic regions is now possible with our no-amplification (No-Amp) targeted sequencing method utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

At DuPont Pioneer, DNA sequencing is paramount for R&D to reveal the genetic basis for traits of interest in commercial crops such as maize, soybean, sorghum, sunflower, alfalfa, canola, wheat, rice, and others. They cannot afford to wait the years it has historically taken for high-quality reference genomes to be produced. Nor can they rely on a single reference to represent the genetic diversity in its germplasm.

Structural variation accounts for much of the variation among human genomes. Structural variants of all types are known to cause Mendelian disease and contribute to complex disease. Learn how long-read sequencing is enabling detection of the full spectrum of structural variants to advance the study of human disease, evolution and genetic diversity.

The Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) is a leading Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) typing lab that focuses on monkeys. While many scientists are familiar with the importance of characterizing the histocompatibility region of the human genome for applications like disease research or tissue typing before organ transplantation, fewer are aware of the need to accurately type this region in non-human primates. At the primate research lab, part of the University of Wisconsin- Madison, scientists are analyzing immune regions to help test potential HIV vaccines and AIDS therapies. Their work is essential for understanding the effects of treatment ahead of human trials.
