Today we’re pleased to announce the release of a new version of Sequel Software (V5.1) and a new polymerase. Combined, these upgrades increase throughput and overall performance for key SMRT…
UPDATED February 21, 2018 Congratulations to Winston Timp’s team on the publication of their Iso-Seq analysis of hummingbird! The paper is now available at GigaScience. ORIGINAL POST April 4, 2017…
A new review in Nucleic Acids Research offers a sweeping look at human sequencing applications for SMRT Sequencing, finding that “[t]he myth that SMRT sequencing is too error prone ……
Maize is amazingly diverse. A study comparing genome segments from two inbred lines, for instance, revealed that half of the sequence and one-third of the gene content was not shared…
In a recent publication, scientists from the University of California, Davis, and PacBio reported results from an investigation of alternative splicing associated with a repeat expansion in the gene linked…
We’re pleased to announce the winner of this year’s ‘Open Your Eyes to Isoform Diversity’ SMRT Grant, which was launched during the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting. The…
Three recent publications report results from transcriptome studies of plants often used for medicinal purposes, all powered by SMRT Sequencing and the Iso-Seq method. The papers on ginseng, Huangqi, and…
Scientists at Huazhong Agricultural University in China and collaborating institutions recently published results of an Iso-Seq analysis of allotetraploid cotton. The team’s findings are expected to be particularly useful for…
The PacBio team hosted a luncheon workshop at ASHG yesterday titled “Population and Clinical Genetics Studies Using Long-read SMRT Sequencing.” Thanks to all the conference attendees who took time out…
A new publication from scientists at The Rockefeller University and PacBio presents reference-grade, phased diploid genome assemblies for two important avian models for vocal learning, Anna’s hummingbird and zebra finch….
If you’re interested in avian vocal learning or want to explore a PacBio Iso-Seq data set generated with the Sequel System, we have good news. We’ve just released data from…
A new paper in Scientific Reports presents results from a transcriptome analysis for Oryctolagus cuniculus. The work was done with SMRT Sequencing, which allowed scientists to discover novel transcripts and…
Earlier this year, scientists from Korea reported results from a transcriptome study of Pacific abalone. In this paper, the team used SMRT Sequencing to demonstrate that alternative splicing and gene…
If you weren’t at the 36th International Society for Animal Genetics Conference in Dublin, you missed more than a chance to drink Guinness and practice an Irish brogue. The PacBio…
We were delighted to be back at the University of Maryland this summer for our annual East Coast User Group Meeting. The day-long event, preceded by half-day workshops on sample…
