Join our webinar to learn how to use HiFi reads to profile and characterize metagenomics samples.

Using Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing, you can generate highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads – with Q20 or 99% accuracy and above for 10 kb or more. This high accuracy resolution of each single molecule enables species or strain-level profiling of complex populations in both targeted and shotgun sequencing experiments. Genome assemblies are more cost effective than ever before when sequencing metagenomics samples with the Sequel II System.
