A pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat
Oat grain is a traditional human food rich in dietary fiber that contributes to improved human health. Interest in the crop has surged in recent years owing to its use as the basis for plant-based milk analogs. Oat is an allohexaploid with a large, repeat-rich genome that was shaped by subgenome exchanges over evolutionary timescales. In contrast to many other cereal species, genomic research in oat is still at an early stage, and surveys of structural genome diversity and gene expression variability are scarce.

Lighting a SPRQ: How new Revio chemistry fuels innovative research
Join us as we dive into the details of SPRQ chemistry, how it compares to the first iteration of Revio technology, and what it means for the future of genomics. SPRQ (pronounced “spark”) chemistry is enabled by a new sequencing polymerase and optimized reagents that ensure more DNA molecules reach the surface of a SMRT Cell during the loading process. This optimization kickstarts improved efficiency throughout the entire sequencing workflow. With increased output, coupled with reduced time, DNA input, and cost, SPRQ chemistry changes the game for HiFi sequencing.
Advantages of using HiFi sequencing for your plant + animal genomics research
Highly accurate genomic sequencing helps uncover genomic clues from the organisms that populate our world. Complex genomes and transcriptomes provide pathways to protect crop and livestock health and better understand plant and animal biology at a molecular level.
Here are some advantages of HiFi sequencing to support your plant and animal research:
- Build more complete, accurate, and phased reference genomes for all types of organisms
- Confidently call variants at every scale, including SNPs, structural variants, copy number variants, translocations, and homopolymer repeats
- Uncover new biology with Kinnex RNA kits that provides full-length, phased transcript sequence — profile isoforms and capture 5’ untranslated regions
- Reveal previously hidden regulatory mechanisms with epigenetic sequence information
Applications to fuel plant + animal genomics research
Whole genome sequencing
Assemble haplotype-resolved, more complete, and accurate de novo genomes and simultaneously detect methylation in the face of challenging complexity, such as high ploidy, high GC content, and highly repetitive sequences.
Structural variant calling
Resolve variants at every scale — from SNPs and INDELs to larger structural variants like copy number variations and translocations, even in complicated regions of the genome.
Targeted sequencing
Accurately detect and uncover variant types even in hard-to-reach regions of the genome to power genotyping studies, breeding programs, and more.
RNA sequencing
Uncover novel biology with full-length transcripts at scale with the Kinnex RNA kits. Profile isoforms and capture variants in 5’ UTRs for the data you need to build more accurate genome annotations.
