It's beautiful weather today at the #cshlmbiome conference! PacBio just hosted a packed microbial workshop featuring guest speaker Gang Fang. He talked about studying the stable and dynamic nature of bacterial epigenomes, with an emphasis on HiFi #methylation data.

Benchtop HiFi: PacBio Unveils Vega 🧬🖥️ omicsomics.blogspot.com/2024/11/bencht…

Today, we announced the first #PacBio benchtop long-read sequencing system, Vega. #Vega delivers all the functionality of #Revio into a compact, lower- throughput benchtop platform. bit.ly/3O0mP5b #ASHG24 #ASHG2024

If #ASHG attendees can count on one thing lately, it’s PacBio creating a buzz (and throwing a great party). This year was no exception! When PacBio launched their latest instrument, Vega, on Wednesday night, ONEREPUBLIC was on site to help them do it. hubs.li/Q02Xhqyc0

lol - I wasn't going to say it 😅

Another very insightful paper on #methylation and long-read sequencing by Gang Fang, describing some important but frequently overlooked caveats. Gang provides a fantastic summary in his post, but here's my take too😅:

A bright new day is here! 🦋 Follow us on Bluesky (bsky.app/profile/pacbio…) and stay connected for updates, innovations, and everything genomics. #PacBio

Do you think long-read #metagenomics with #PacBio #HiFi is gaining momentum? I noticed there were more publications & pre-prints on this topic in 2024 (56) than 2022 + 2023 combined (54). Definitely encouraging! Full pub list: github.com/PacificBioscie…

Great keynote talk at #SFAF by Rob Knight, summarizing key innovations in #microbiome research over the past decade. One recent highlight is how long reads have transformed #metagenome assembly, particularly PacBio HiFi reads. The future is complete MAGs!
