This video walks you through HiFi sequencing bioinformatics for uncovering germline variation. The talk covers how HiFi reads can provide a better view of genome completeness, an overview of SMRT Link and the GitHub tools that are available for variant calling, information about the PacBio Whole Genome Sequencing variant pipeline, and finally, we take a look at the PacBio compatible partners ecosystem and some helpful additional resources to get you started.

This video walks you through the why, what and how of the PacBio Kinnex kits, based on the MAS-Seq method. Specifically, why do you need long reads for RNA sequencing? What are the Kinnex kits? And finally, how do the Kinnex arrays work?

In this video, you’ll learn about the extraction of high molecular weight DNA, which is optimal for long-read sequencing, the positive correlation that exists between sample quality and sequencing performance, new whole genome and micro lab prep method kits that will scale with your needs, and finally, our compatibility partners who enable sequencing success, all of which is designed with the goal of achieving customizable end-to-end solutions.

In this webinar you will hear about how HiFi sequencing enabled the detection of variants in pediatric leukemia samples that were missed by other technologies, bringing us a step closer to the promise of a single comprehensive assay.

Discover how full-length isoform sequencing enables you to robustly and cost effectively identify new isoforms at scale and study isoform dynamics in single-cell populations. The MAS-Seq for 10x Single Cell 3’ kit – and its successor, the Kinnex single-cell RNA kit – concatenate isoforms for highly accurate long-read sequencing (HiFi sequencing). This approach increases throughput and reduces costs by giving you a 16-fold throughput increase compared to un-concatenated libraries, without losing accuracy or full-length isoform information. Anastasiya Grinko, MSc, applied the MAS-Seq kit to profile the single-cell isoform landscape of monocyte-derived macrophages after myocardial infarction. This approach captured thousands of distinct isoforms, making it possible to see cell-type-specific isoform utilization in monocytes and macrophage subtypes and to unveil temporal dynamics of isoform expression. Watch this webinar to: • Understand the importance of elucidating isoforms in single-cell transcriptomics. • Learn how to analyze MAS-Seq and Kinnex single-cell data with the Single-cell Iso-Seq workflow in SMRT Link. • See how the throughput of the MAS-Seq single-cell kit revealed differentially expressed isoforms across cell types in heart tissue after myocardial infarction.

Liquid biopsy is revolutionizing cancer research through non-invasive detection of tumor DNA in the blood. However, sequencing errors introduced by traditional next-generation sequencing can mimic real mutations, obscuring the true signal. The PacBio Onso short-read sequencing system, powered by our highly accurate SBB technology, can reduce false positives and improve sensitivity for detecting rare variants in ctDNA, potentially enabling a new generation of liquid biopsy assays for more sensitive tumor DNA detection.

In this webinar, learn how David Wissel from ETH Zurich uses MAS-Seq technology, integral to Kinnex kits, to enhance throughput for lrRNA-Seq, facilitating more comprehensive transcript quantification. The analysis contrasts Kinnex data with short-read RNA-Seq using spike-in RNA variant control mixes and assesses its efficacy in differential transcript expression and usage. Additionally, the webinar introduces an accessible Snakemake workflow, tailoring bioinformatics processes for efficient isoform analysis in multi-sample studies.
