Advance genomics with long-read sequencing, enabled by Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing
SMRT Sequencing is built upon two key innovations: zero-mode waveguides (ZMWs) and phospholinked nucleotides. ZMWs allow light to illuminate only the bottom of a well in which a DNA polymerase/template complex is immobilized. Phospholinked nucleotides allow observation of the immobilized complex as the DNA polymerase produces a completely natural DNA strand.
The SMRT Sequencing advantage
SMRT Sequencing is ideal for a variety of research applications and offers many benefits, including:
- Longest average read lengths
- Highest consensus accuracy
- Uniform coverage
- Simultaneous epigenetic characterization
- Single-molecule resolution
