This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
For scientists who utilize DNA sequencing in their research but are not experts in the underlying technology, it can be difficult to determine the accuracy of sequencing results — and…
What is a pangenome? Unless you have an identical twin, no other person has a genome that is identical to yours. The same is true for other animal, plant, and…
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a sudden urgency to virus research and led many of us to dig more deeply into all the tools available for characterizing viral genomes, from…
We’re pleased to release a short video describing PacBio sequencing and our latest platform, the Sequel II system. If you’ve ever wondered how Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing works, what…
Welcome to the Sequencing 101 blog series — where we will provide introductions to sequencing technology, genomics, and much more. If you’re not immersed in the field of DNA sequencing,…
With high-throughput long-read sequencing, it is now affordable and routine to produce a de novo genome assembly for microbes, plants and animals. The quality of a reference genome impacts biological…
In eukaryotic organisms, the majority of genes are alternatively spliced to produce multiple transcript isoforms. Gene regulation through alternative splicing can dramatically increase the protein-coding potential of a genome. Therefore,…
If you have a question, need to check the status of an order, or are interested in purchasing an instrument, we're here to help.
