报告题目:Latest update of PacBio HiFi sequencing
Abstract:Recent improvements in sequencing chemistry and instrument performance combine to create a new PacBio data type of highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads. These reads have the accuracy comparable to short read NGS but with 50-100 times longer read length. This technical improvement has resulted in overwhelming enthusiasm from the scientific community. HiFi has become the go-to technology for genomic research as evidenced by adoption by many high profile international projects. In this presentation I will highlight what advancement this technology has rendered in rare disease research with whole genome approach, targeted disease gene sequencing, biodiversity, and single cell RNA sequencing.
Jonas Korlach,PacBio CSO
Dr. Jonas Korlach is Chief Scientific Officer at Pacific Biosciences. He co-invented the company’s SMRT technology with Stephen Turner, Ph.D., Pacific Biosciences Founder and Chief Technology Officer, when the two were graduate students at Cornell University. SMRT technology dramatically improves the accuracy and speed of DNA sequencing. Dr. Korlach joined Pacific Biosciences as the company's eighth employee in 2004. Dr. Korlach is the recipient of multiple grants, an inventor on 33 issued U.S. patents, and an author of numerous scientific studies on the principles and applications of SMRT technology, including publications in Nature, Science, and PNAS. He received both his Ph.D. and his M.S. degrees in Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology from Cornell, and received M.S. and B.A. degrees in Biological Sciences from Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. |
