ASHG 2020 - Unlock Your Next Great Discovery

Unlock Your Next Great Discovery


 

ESHG 2021 - Virtual Conference OnDemand


Learn how scientists are adopting highly accurate long reads, known as HiFi reads, to gain views of human genetic diversity.

With high accuracy (>99.9%) and long read lengths up to 25 kb, HiFi sequencing allows scientists to find causative pathogenic variants and identify novel disease-associated genes with best-in-class variant calling for all variant types as well as complete and phased assemblies of the human genome.

PacBio scientists presented new research at the ESHG Conference demonstrating how HiFi sequencing enables new discoveries.

PacBio Corporate Satellite meeting

Date and Time: Sunday, August 29, 2021 I 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. CEST

Increasing Solve Rates in Rare and Mendelian Disease Research with Long-Read Sequencing

Join us for our Corporate Satellite to learn how leading experts in rare disease research like Dr. Susan Hiatt from HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have used HiFi sequencing to discover genomic variation that has been missed by whole exome or genome sequencing studies using short reads.
