A series of recent peer-reviewed scientific publications highlights the growing use of Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) Sequencing to annotate plant and animal genomes. These reports from the genomics community show that PacBio sequencing consistently detects more genes, alternative splicing events, ...

The single molecule, real time (SMRT) sequencing technology of Pacific Biosciences enables the acquisition of transcripts from end to end due to its ability to produce extraordinarily long reads (>10 kb). This new method of transcriptome sequencing has been applied ...

Improvements in maize breeding are required to feed a growing population and will depend on a more complete understanding of global gene expression in the plant. In a new publication from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), scientists produced the largest ...

A new review article offers a nice overview of attempts to characterize the transcriptome of human stem cells using RNA-seq, the Iso-Seq™ method, and more. Kin Fai Au and Vittorio Sebastiano, scientists at the University of Iowa and Stanford University, ...
