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.

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.

We've seen a big increase in the number of long-read #metagenomics publications, especially those using #PacBio HiFi data. Also very encouraging to all the new tools for long-read metagenome assembly & taxonomic profiling.

Complete list of publications: github.com/PacificBiosc...

HiFi sequencing can reveal rare and complex variants, but interpretation requires diverse background datasets.

PacBio and DNAstack are supporting the first global federated dataset of HiFi whole genomes through the HiFi Solves Global Consortium.

Hi Molly! Reach out to Arima or Dovetail if you haven't already!

Thanks to everyone who joined our PacBio workshop today! 🌱🐄

We loved sharing how HiFi sequencing and SPRQ-Nx chemistry are advancing multiomic discoveries across genomes and populations. Stop by Booth #219 to continue the conversation!

#PAG33 #PacBio #PAG2026

The PacBio PAG 2026 party has begun! 🎉🌱🐄 We’re excited for a night of great conversation, connections, and celebrating the collaborations that make plant and animal genomics so inspiring.

#PAG33 #PacBio #PAG2026

Jeremy Schmutz at HudsonAlpha is the last talk of the @pacbio.bsky.social workshop at #PAG33 to talk about the cornucopia of genomics PacBio provides including beta testing results from SPRQ-Nx reusable SMRT Cells.

Christine Queitsch is up at @pacbio.bsky.social workshop at #PAG33 to talk about Fiber-Seq in Maize to look at chromatin accessibility, protein occupancy, and nucleosome positioning from a single HiFi experiment along with your long read sequencing data. @epicypher.bsky.social

Christine Queitsch walks us through Fiber-Seq in maize which is greatly increasing our understanding of the regulatory landscape of maize.

Brooke Peterson-Burch up next at @pacbio.bsky.social Workshop at #PAG33 to talk about gene prediction in crops using Kinnex Iso-Seq.

Shenia Sim at the USDA walks us through a single fruit fly’s journey to receiving a holistic genome using multiple applications on CiFi from a single SMRT cell.

#PacBio #PAG33 #PAG2026

Sheina Sim is up now @pacbio.bsky.social workshop at #PAG33 to talk about CiFi and multiomic holistic genomes in fruit flies.

See how Kendall Lee at HAIB and Veil Genomics is advancing Polyploid Genomics in blueberries using HiFi sequencing. A single Revio cell produces enough data for a high-quality assembly of a single blueberry, or low pass data on 12 individuals for population scale studies.

#PacBio #PAG33 #Revio

Kendall Lee from Veil Genomics is here! Time to learn about Long Read Low Pass sequencing along with some CiFi of Blueberries! 🫐 #PAG33 @pacbio.bsky.social

The room is filling up! If you’re not here you’re missing out on exciting updates on Kinnex Iso-Seq, Fiber-Seq chromatin accessibility, CiFi for HiFi based HiC scaffolding, and Low-Pass population sequencing. @pacbio.bsky.social @epicypher.bsky.social #PAG33

Jake is starting us off to tell us about the latest updates from @pacbio.bsky.social including SPRQ-Nx to drop costs with reusable SMRT Cells. #PAG33

PacBio workshop happening now at #PAG33. @pacbio.bsky.social. Come to learn more about multiomics and everything you can do with HiFi sequencing. #TheresHiFiForThat

Come join us!

Team Animal seems to be winning this round 🐱🌱!

Swing by Booth 219 at PAG 2026 to cast your vote in the ultimate Plant vs. Animal showdown, see live demonstrations of our Vega sequencing system, and meet the PacBio experts behind the science.
