Long-read genome sequencing improves detection and functional interpretation of structural and repeat variants in autism Mortazavi et al. investigated structural and tandem repeat variants from long-read WGS in a cohort of 267 individuals from 63 families affected by ASD. They detected de novo and complex DUP-DEL SVs, i...

A new paper in Cell Genomics validates how #PacBio HiFi sequencing unlocks ASD research.

By replacing multiple assays with one workflow, researchers saw a 33% increase in SV detection and a 38% increase in tandem repeat detection.

How does HiFi capture epigenetics in one run?

When a base is modified, its incorporation rate shifts. HiFi measures these kinetic signatures to detect 5mC and 6mA automatically with no extra library prep.

The strain is susceptible to #metronidazole, #vancomycin and fidaxomicin, but the #PacBio -generated complete genome shows it harbors different #AMR genes (as is the case for other NTCD).

One molecule. Multiple layers of biology.

HiFi sequencing = multiomic insights.

It reveals the genome, structural variants, full-length isoforms, and base-level methylation. All in one run. All from the same molecule.
