Application brochure — AAV Sequencing with HiFi Reads

With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) sequencing on the Sequel® IIe systems, you can sequence AAV
genome populations to identify truncation, mutation, and host integration events. The AAV workflow from
PacBio® accommodates both scAAV and ssAAV constructs with easy on-instrument HiFi read generation

Application brief — Measuring DNA methylation with 5-base HiFi sequencing

HiFi sequencing produces long, accurate reads of the 4 DNA bases — A, C, G, and T — that deliver the most comprehensive characterization of genomes. But HiFi sequencing is not limited to characterizing the genome. It simultaneously measures the epigenome by detecting a fifth base — 5mC at CpG sites — without requiring special library preparation like bisulfite treatment. This detects distinct regional epigenetic patterns, accesses methylation in the full genome, and identifies allele-specific methylation.

Application brief — Uncover cancer-specific RNA isoforms using long read sequencing

The Iso-Seq method utilizes long-read transcript sequencing to reliably capture full-length transcript isoforms without the need for
computational assembly. PacBio’s long-read RNA sequencing is also significantly less error-prone than other long-read sequencing
technologies, offering more robust and accurate isoform discovery power.9,10 Future research will continue to explore the complex and
mostly unexplored landscape of isoforms across cancer types.

Application brief — Long-read RNA sequencing

With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel Systems, you can easily and affordably sequence complete transcript isoforms in genes of interest or across the entire transcriptome. The Iso-Seq method allows users to generate full-length cDNA sequences up to 10 kb in length — with no assembly required — to confidently characterize full-length transcript isoforms.

Application brief — Single-cell RNA sequencing with HiFi reads

With PacBio single-cell RNA sequencing using the Iso-Seq method, you can now distinguish between alternative transcript isoforms at the single-cell level. The highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads) can span the entire 5′ to 3′ end of a transcript, allowing a high-resolution view of isoform diversity and revealing cell-to-cell heterogeneity without the need for assembly.

Application brochure — Scalable human whole genome HiFi sequencing for rare and inherited disease research

PacBio highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads – offer a single-platform solution for rare and inherited disease research, elucidating suspected genetic causes of disease in up to ~50% of cases that have not previously been explained using short-read exome or whole genome sequencing. PacBio offers an efficient workflow, developed in collaboration with Children’s Mercy Kansas City, which provides a scalable solution for sequencing 100s to 1000s of whole human genomes per year on the Sequel II and Sequel IIe Systems.

Application brief — Variant detection using whole genome sequencing with HiFi reads

With highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads) from the Sequel II or IIe Systems you can comprehensively detect variants in 100s to 1000s of genomes in a year. HiFi reads provide high precision and recall for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, structural variants (SVs), and copy number variants (CNVs), including in difficult-to-map repetitive regions.
