Technology Overview
PacBio sequencing is a high throughput / third-generation sequencing technology which also known as single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing. It utilizes zero-mode waveguides (ZMWs) to capture the real-time incorporation of nucleotides by DNA polymerase. This technology consistently produces long readssurvey of full-length transcript isoforms. Barcoding system is available for multiplexed sequencing on a single SMRT cell to achieve time- and cost- effectiveness.
PacBio platform service arrangement notice
If you are interested in PacBio sequencing, we continue to offer this service through outsourcing to a partner laboratory for library preparation and sequencing.
Please contact Dr Hin Kwok (hinkwok.cpos@hku.hk / 2831-5483) or platform specialists for project discussion.
Data Collection
Data from every run will be reviewed and released to users only upon passing in-house QC.
All data files can be delivered in external USB portable storage (provided by users).
Additional information on data deliverables can be found from our bioinformatics page.
