PacBio, a leading developer of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing solutions, announces it has joined the 1000 Genomes Long Read Sequencing Project, which will involve contributing long-read transcriptome data to one of the world’s most expansive human genomics initiatives. In collaboration with the laboratories of Danny Miller, MD, PhD, Evan Eichler, PhD, at the University of Washington, and Rajiv McCoy, PhD at the McCoy Lab at Johns Hopkins University, PacBio will...

Mass accuracy isn’t just a spec – it’s a foundation for trust. If you’re using SIM mode on a quadrupole mass spectrometer, you may be improving sensitivity – but at the expense of visibility. Anything you’re not specifically targeting will be filtered out, making unknowns easy to miss. BenchTOF2™ mass spectrometers remove that compromise. They deliver full-range, quadrupole-like spectra in every run – giving you the sensitivity of SIM with the power to screen comprehensively...
