This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
Adopting new technologies in scientific research can feel like a leap of faith. But imagine if that leap opens the door for your lab to help provide answers for…
If you had the chance, how would you elevate your human genomics research using highly-accurate full-length isoform-level sequencing? We posed that question to researchers in January with the…
Alternative splicing occurs when exons from the same gene combine in different ways, resulting in different (but related) RNA transcript isoforms, which in turn create different proteins with distinct structures…
When new sequencing instruments are released, great leaps in genomics capabilities follow. But did you know that for some applications like 16S microbiome research, gene annotation, or cancer transcriptomics, “new-instrument-level” performance can be achieved with something as simple as an off-the-shelf kit?
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an indispensable tool for analyzing transcriptomes across all domains of life that can reveal insights about biology and disease. While the genome remains relatively constant…
Cellular cartography has been just as important for biologists to navigate the complex topography of living systems as was the mapping of the earth’s landscapes for explorers hundreds of years…
In this article, we discuss PacBio RNA sequencing through the lens of our most recent Iso-Seq Social club event. Read about the exciting scientific wins that were shared, and see…
Pseudogenes are typically regarded as non-functional DNA elements, and have therefore not received as much attention as their parent genes. Thanks to PacBio HiFi sequencing, many pseudogenes now RISE FROM…
At PacBio, we are driven to create the most sophisticated multiomic sequencing technologies so that you can forge a new frontier in cancer research. Through the SMRT Grant program, PacBio awards free…
In living cells, it is typically the proteins that are the work horses of carrying out the myriad of biological functions, and that can be subject to aberrant processes that…
Olga Anczukow (@OlgaAnczukow), PhD, a leading expert on breast cancer at the Jackson Laboratory, recently presented on how HiFi sequencing (PacBio’s highly accurate long-read sequencing technology) with the Iso-Seq method…
Through the development of long-read, full-length RNA sequencing methods, the scientific community has recognized a fundamental paradigm shift, “from ‘gene-centric’ to ‘isoform-centric’ understanding of human transcriptomes, owing to the frequent…
Long-read PacBio HiFi sequencing has made transformative contributions to many areas of genomics over the past few years, including de novo assembly, calling of all variant types, full-length phased targeted…
Seeking to sequence and characterize entire transcriptomes in one go? Our new Iso-Seq protocol and reverse-transcriptase PCR kit makes it easier, speedier and cheaper. Run on the new Sequel II…
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.
