• HiFi long-read sequencing brings more accuracy to population genomics studies

    1 month ago - By Pacific Biosciences

    Population genomics initiatives are gaining traction around the world. There are currently more than 20 active programs spread around the globe, and these programs aim to sequence millions of genomes so that researchers can build diverse health databases, learn how biology and lifestyle affect health, and bring us closer to a future where precision medicine is the standard. While short-read sequencing technology has been the norm, a new preprint from research groups participating in the All of Us program in the U.S. challenges the status quo, finding that HiFi long-read sequencing is, in...
