Making Sense of Next-Generation Sequencing Data
Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) announced that it is launching its next version of PacBio sequencer, PacBio RS II. The new PacBio RS II can produce 5,000 bp read lengths on an average and the longest reads are above 20,000 bp in length. In addition, in the new PacBio RS II, PacBio has doubled the number of simultaneously [...]
PacBio, the next-gen sequencing technology company, announced that PacBio is looking to improve upon on read length, accuracy, and throughput in 2013. Revealing its goals in a blog post describing its technology roadmap, PacBio said it has many improvements coming to the PacBio RS starting from the first half of 2013 and it can eliminate the limit on read length [...]
Just a few hours ahead of ASHG Annual Meeting at San Francisco (ASHG12), Pacific Biosciences announced improvements to its sequencing system, that will enable PacBio RS to sequence longer reads. The new upgrades to DNA Sequencing Chemistry and Software increases PacBio RS’s average read length from 3,000 bases to 5,000 bases and the reads can be [...]
