ESHG 2022
Sequence without compromise
ESHG 2022
Meet the PacBio team at the ESHG conference in Vienna to learn how PacBio sequencing enables researchers to see more and do more.
At PacBio we create the world’s most advanced sequencing systems to provide researchers the most complete and accurate view of genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes.
Highly accurate long-read sequencing, known as HiFi sequencing, provides a higher resolution approach compared to previously used technologies to better understand the genetic causes of rare disease.
Below you’ll discover the many ways to engage with us at the conference. We look forward to meeting you.
Highlights of the event include:

Long-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) for plants and animals has allowed scientists to tackle the assembly of genomes ranging in size, ploidy, and repeat content. HiFi WGS enables complete, accurate, and contiguous assemblies of even the most complex genomes. As a result, HiFi WGS has been adopted by many biodiversity genomics consortia and agriculture researchers to assemble thousands of genomes. While HiFi WGS simplifies the bioinformatics of genome assembly, library preparation remains a common challenge, especially for scientists sequencing organisms which yield low quantities of DNA or have very large genomes that require multiple libraries for a single de novo assembly. We describe a new workflow using the PacBio SMRTbell Prep Kit 3.0 that is amenable to automation while significantly reducing the time (by 50%), cost, and DNA quantity (by 40%) necessary to prepare a sequencing library. We applied the workflow to rice and fly samples and demonstrate that the assembly quality matches that of the previous, more time-consuming library prep workflows. This new workflow offers a more efficient solution for all WGS applications, regardless of organism size or complexity.

With the increasing prevalence of high-quality assembled genomes, access to the pangenomes of species is now an achievable possibility for researchers with all research budgets. However, the tools to visualize, analyze, and extract actionable information from these pangenome datasets are still in their infancy. Using a large plant pangenome dataset, we evaluated the pangenome graph builder pipeline for building a pangenome graph of the species and use these evaluations to provide basic recommendations for how to best manipulate and visualize these pangenomic datasets with other downstream tools including the vg toolkit.
