Scalable Workflow for Constructing HiFi Libraries

In this talk, Christine Lambert describes a simple and scalable workflow for generating high-quality HiFi reads appropriate for comprehensive variant detection (SNVs, Indels, SVs) and de novo assembly. Using this workflow, multiple samples can be processed manually (up to 16) with a multichannel pipet and strip tubes. Up to 96 samples can be processed on an automated liquid handler such as the Sciclone Liquid Handler Workstation. She also describes solutions for high-throughput SMRTbell library construction for generating HiFi reads on the Sequel IIe System.
