Sequencing on the Pac Bio platforms can be used in addition to our services based on the Illumina platforms. True whole genome sequencing with the PacBio systems provides complete and accurate views of all types of genomic variation, revealing SNPs/SNVs, structural variants, mobile elements, haplotypes and variants in low-complexity regions. This allows us to:
- Perform complete microbial characterization in a single experiment
- Produce high-quality reference genomes for complete gene discovery
- Use the Pac Bio technology to create exceptional genome de novo assemblies
- Resolve structural variation across the complete size spectrum with base pair resolution
- Reconstruct intact genes and gene clusters
- Clarify the role of mobile elements in drug resistance and transmission
- Assess the contribution of DNA modification on pathogenesis
