Microbiology + infectious disease
Microbes account for most of the diversity of life on our planet, yet fewer than 1% have been identified. To understand this ever-evolving world, scientists need the unbiased, accurate, and comprehensive information that only PacBio long-read sequencing can provide.
See how SMRT Sequencing is helping scientists to fully characterize viruses, microbes and their communities
Discovery-based microbiology
See the details that drive biological insights with highly accurate, closed genomes that include epigenetic information.
Industrial microbiology
Address global needs for novel therapeutics, environmental remediation, and efficient chemical production by mining even the most difficult to sequence microbial genomes.
Infectious disease research
Advance human health worldwide with new insights into the viruses, bacteria, and protozoa that cause infectious disease.
Public health
Protect public health by finding all the variant types that drive the spread of antimicrobial resistance and contribute to bacterial virulence.
Plant + animal microbiology
Explore the role of microbial symbionts and pathogens in plant and animal health and disease.
Whole genome sequencing
Assemble microbial genomes that are the gold standard for both completeness and accuracy with ease and confidence
Metagenomics
Comprehensively characterize metagenomes with long, highly accurate, single-molecule reads – no assembly required
Bacterial epigenetics
Detect the recognition motifs of active R-M systems at coverage levels recommended for assembly
Viral populations
Use long, highly accurate single-molecule reads to deconvolute complex populations, track viral evolution and quantify minor variants
