Great sawfish clip and thanks for all your help too Zev Kronenberg! ...also thanks to additional coauthors Jon Belyeu & Juniper A. Lake Sawfish summary thread here for a quick results summary: x.com/ctsa11/status/…

I'm happy to see sawfish now available for the community to use. Sawfish is another step towards high accuracy and consistent SV genotyping. Great work by Chris Saunders and many others.

Don't miss out on this #metagenomics webinar next week! PacBio HiFi sequencing on Revio can be used to generate single-contig, complete MAGs from the most difficult sample type to assemble - soil. Results for wetland and grassland soil shown here, from my talk at LAMG.

I am going on the faculty job market this year, so if your home department is starting a search, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Very excited to share our work on building a benchmark of all classes of variation based on the large CEPH-1463 pedigree sequenced with all the technologies. A large team effort! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Whoa! “As an example of the value of this improved benchmark, we retrained DeepVariant using this data to reduce genotyping errors by ~34%.” The Platinum Pedigree: A long-read benchmark for genetic variants | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We've been making steady usability updates to the sawfish SV caller thanks to user feedback, including a new feature to output all supporting reads for each SV. The latest binary, user guide, and (new) source code release are available on github here: github.com/PacificBioscie…

I'm happy to announce that SVTopo, a new computational tool from PacBio (github.com/PacificBioscie…), is ready for you to try. SVTopo creates simple images so you can rapidly understand complex changes in genome structure. See me and learn more at ASHG 2024 in Denver, poster 1180W

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

PacBio introducing their new benchtop sequencer, Vega, at the #ASHG24 PacBio party 🧬👾

Lights Camera 📷 Vega ✨! So excited to finally reveal this small but mighty sequencer. Isn’t she cute? 💖 #PacBio #ASHG24 #ASHG2024

It's official, PacBio has launched a new benchtop sequencer! Quick summary of the new Vega system: - instrument = $169k - consumables = $1100 per run - output = 60 Gbp, 24 hr run time This is the #HiFi sequencer #microbiology labs have been asking for. pacb.com/press_releases…
