PacBio RS II

The PacBio RS II is a DNA sequencing platform that reads the genetic code by observing individual DNA molecules in real time. It uses a technology called Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing, where tiny wells called zero-mode waveguides allow continuous observation of DNA synthesis. This method provides long read lengths, making it easier to assemble complex genomes and detect structural variations. It's valuable for research requiring detailed genetic information, such as genomics, medical research, and plant biology. The RS II is known for its high accuracy over long DNA stretches and its ability to capture detailed genetic information.
