PacBio

Pacific Biosciences is based in the heart of Silicon Valley and provides sophisticated genomic sequencing and analysis systems that deliver invaluable insights for scientists who strive to resolve complex genetic challenges.  Harnessing advances in biochemistry, optics, nanofabrication, and more, PacBio developed Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing technology. This powerful technology enables real-time analysis of biomolecules with single-molecule resolution.

PacBio sequencing offers the most comprehensive view of genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes — including the full spectrum of genetic variation — by providing the longest average read lengths, highest consensus accuracy, and most uniform coverage of any sequencing technology on the market today. Ideal for de novo genome assembly and genetic variation characterization of humans, animals + plants, and microbes, this system features high-performance optics, automated liquid handling, and an intuitive, intelligent operating system.
