Examples Of What You Can Do

SMRT sequencing is a potent tool for genome-wide epigenetic studies, as it facilitates the identification of DNA modifications with single-molecule precision. Unlike alternative sequencing technologies, SMRT sequencing can directly detect DNA base modifications, such as cytosine and adenine methylation or hydroxymethylation, bypassing the need for chemical or enzymatic treatments.

 

This technology enables the identification of epigenetic modifications throughout the entire genome, yielding a comprehensive view of the epigenetic landscape. By accurately pinpointing DNA modifications, SMRT sequencing can be used to study the epigenetic changes linked with various biological processes like development, aging, and disease.

 

Researchers can employ SMRT sequencing to inspect epigenetic modifications associated with gene regulation, DNA repair, and other vital cellular processes. Additionally, it can be used to analyze epigenetic changes that occur in response to environmental or physiological stimuli, offering valuable insights into adaptation and disease mechanisms.

 

While other sequencing technologies, such as bisulfite sequencing or ChIP-seq, have limitations in their capacity to accurately detect all DNA modifications and often necessitate intricate sample preparation protocols, SMRT sequencing is a highly accurate and scalable technology capable of providing an all-encompassing view of the epigenetic landscape in a single experiment. At Deep Biotech Solutions, we use SMRT sequencing to facilitate your research into the expansive field of epigenetics.

SMRT sequencing stands out for its ability to accurately detect and characterize larger insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs), key structural variants in genomes. Short-read sequencing technologies, with their read sizes of 50bp-300bp, are often prone to errors or misalignments, and they frequently miss or misidentify structural variants, particularly in highly repetitive or complex genomic regions.

 

In contrast, SMRT sequencing, with its long reads ranging from 1000bp to 100,000bp, exhibits superior performance in identifying structural variants and CNVs. It’s uniquely positioned as the only method capable of accurately detecting larger genomic changes. At Deep Biotech Solutions, we leverage the power of SMRT sequencing to deliver high-quality data for your genomic research, ensuring comprehensive and reliable insights into genomic structural variations.

SMRT sequencing is a powerful tool for de novo genome assembly, enabling researchers to construct new, complete genomes, even from previously unsequenced or complex organisms. Traditional sequencing technologies typically generate short reads (50bp-300bp) which can often result in fragmented or incomplete assemblies. In contrast, SMRT sequencing offers long reads ranging from 1000bp to 100,000bp, providing superior suitability for genome assembly.

 

These long reads can span large genomic regions, even those that are highly repetitive or complex, thereby leading to fewer gaps and misassemblies and facilitating more complete and accurate genome assemblies. Moreover, SMRT sequencing can resolve structural variations and haplotypes often overlooked by other sequencing technologies, offering a more comprehensive view of the genome and its complexity.

 

Additionally, SMRT sequencing can deliver high-quality data from a single, long DNA fragment, circumventing the need for laborious library preparation, and hence reducing the risk of introducing biases or errors in the data. This is particularly beneficial for studying organisms with complex genomes, which may require more time and resources for traditional library preparation and sequencing. With Deep Biotech Solutions, leverage the advantages of SMRT sequencing to assemble new, complete genomes, fostering breakthroughs in genomics research.

SMRT sequencing is an invaluable tool in detecting and analyzing both known and novel microbes, offering a comprehensive view of microbial diversity and function within any given environment. A key advantage of SMRT sequencing for metagenomics and microbiome analysis lies in its ability to generate long reads (from 1000bp to 100,000bp). These long reads can span multiple regions of the genome, even those that possess high levels of structural complexity such as repetitive or transposable elements.

 

This results in fewer gaps in the sequencing data, leading to more accurate and complete genome assemblies. As a result, it paints a more comprehensive picture of the microbial community being studied. Additionally, the long reads produced by SMRT sequencing also facilitate the detection of novel microbes or microbial community members that may go unnoticed by other short-read (from 50bp to 300bp) sequencing technologies. At Deep Biotech Solutions, we employ SMRT sequencing to advance metagenomics and microbiome analysis, helping researchers unlock unprecedented insights into microbial communities.
