Long-read and short-read sequencing with unmatched accuracy.

Applications 

Sequencing methods for solutions that matter

PacBio technology provides the most comprehensive view of genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes.

Whole Genome Sequencing

A complete view of the genome to fuel research and discovery.

Targeted Sequencing

Enrich your understanding with accurate detection of all variant types, even in the hardest-to-reach regions of the genome

RNA Sequencing with the ISO-SEQ method

Reveal novel biology that other sequencing methods miss with full-length transcripts using the Iso-Seq™ method.

Metagenome Sequencing

Generating new insights into how microbial communities function and interact with their environments requires improved approaches. Long-read sequencing enables species-level resolution and drives functional insights with full-length 16S sequencing and 10 kb HiFi reads for metagenome profiling and assembly.

Epigenetics

See a new dimension to genomes with the most accurate sequencing reads and DNA methylation in a single experiment.

Sequencing by binding (SBB) - Short read sequencing

SBB  demonstrates greater accuracy and consistency compared to current short-read sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) technologies. An improved limit of detection, customer flexibility, and less computational burden have the potential to enable results in research and clinical mark

 

MAS-Seq: Single cell RNA sequencing

Full-length isoform information for your single-cell transcriptome studies

Understanding cell heterogeneity at the isoform level is critical for basic and disease research. Short reads can only capture gene-level information, while other long-read technologies lack the accuracy for accurate UMI/barcode identification.

Only HiFi reads can provide accurate detection of isoforms in your single-cell study. No complicated algorithms for barcode correction or orthogonal sequencing data are required. With the MAS-Seq method for single-cell isoform sequencing, you can:

  • Achieve 16-fold throughput increase compared to a regular single-cell Iso-Seq library
  • Move beyond gene counting to get full-length isoform information
  • Characterize the full diversity of transcript isoforms at the single-cell level
  • Reveal cell type-specific spliced isoforms and expressed variants
