PacBio partners with Covaris on workflow for HiFi sequencing of FFPE tumor samples
  • PacBio entered joint workflow collaboration with Covaris to enable HiFi long-read sequencing of FFPE tumor samples.
  • Protocol integrates Covaris truXTRAC FFPE extraction with PacBio Kinnex library preparation on Revio system.
  • Workflow recovered DNA fragments up to 5,000 base pairs from FFPE tissue.
  • Studies generated more than 100,000,000 HiFi reads per sample with mean read lengths of 750-1,500 base pairs.
  • Data supported detection of more than 11,000 structural variants per sample, outperforming typical short-read FFPE results of 3,000-7,000.
