Ngx Bio Blog Long reads with Pacific Bioscience platforms

Overview: Pacific Bioscience builds a platform that can sequence long reads on the range of 1000 - 60000 bp significantly faster than short read sequencing. It uses a SMRT cell (Single Molecule Real-Time) sequencing technology - a Zero Mode Waveguide (ZMW) well that is smaller than the light wavelength that captures the emission of a fluorophore being [...]
