What is Kinnex?
The Kinnex kits are based on the MAS-Seq method, which concatenates smaller amplicons into larger fragment libraries for throughput increase.
Kinnex kits increase throughput for full-length RNA, single-cell RNA, and 16S rRNA sequencing on PacBio long-read sequencing systems to enable large-scale studies at a resolution difficult to attain with short-read RNA sequencing.

Whitepaper
Full-length bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing for cancer research
The Iso-Seq method (full-length RNA sequencing using PacBio HiFi sequencing) has been shown to advance cancer research by unambiguously characterizing isoforms at both the bulk and single-cell level. PacBio Kinnex RNA kits further increase throughput on HiFi long-read sequencers. This whitepaper highlights publications on cancer research to demonstrate how bulk and single-cell Iso-Seq data detects fusion genes, identifies novel isoforms that might serve as neoepitopes for vaccine candidates, and traces clonal evolution.
