Pacific Biosciences

Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) is a biotechnology company that develops advanced DNA sequencing technology. Their systems, called long-read sequencers, can analyze long stretches of DNA more accurately and in greater detail than traditional methods. This helps scientists understand complex genetic information, identify genetic variations, and study genomes in areas like research, medicine, and agriculture. PacBio's technology is especially valuable for working with complex or repetitive DNA regions, providing deeper insights into genetics that can inform personalized medicine and biological research.
