MENLO PARK, Calif., April 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio (NASDAQ:PACB), a leading developer of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing solutions, today announced the release of a transformative capability to detect DNA methylation using the Sequel IIe and Sequel II Systems. This extends PacBio’s unique and highly capable HiFi sequencing technology to now include access to the epigenome, a second layer of genomic information often left unexplored due to fundamental limitations of common sequencing technologies. PacBio’s single-molecule approach provides a much more holistic view of molecular behavior during sequencing. Subtle patterns in this rich information allow detection of modified bases in native DNA during standard HiFi sequencing. As a result, scientists gain access to the epigenome with zero additional cost, effort, or complexity. This advance will unlock important new opportunities across a broad range of applications in fundamental and applied biological science.
