Glioblastoma is a devastating disease due in part to its often late-stage diagnosis, rapid progression, and poor survival rates. This casestudy looks at how GENEWIZ utilized the PacBio® Sequel™ long-read technology to help a customer improve detection of structural variants within glioblastoma samples.

This Case Study discusses:

  • Generation of thousands of long-reads using PacBio Sequel Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT) technology
  • Generation of highly accurate consensus sequences
  • Identification of approximately 20,000 structural variants
  • Future applications
