How can one HiFi dataset reveal multiple types of genomic variation?
The #PacBio WGS Variant Pipeline brings together tools for structural variants, repeats, phasing & methylation.
Explore the workflow and our new guide in the blog.

New on hg38: Fiber-seq, from the Stergachis and Vollger labs. One PacBio read reports sequence, chromatin accessibility and CpG methylation together, and is long enough to phase.

ALT The imprinting control region of the KCNQ1OT1 long non-coding RNA on chromosome 11, in K562. Across the highlighted region the CpGs on one haplotype are nearly all methylated and those on the other are nearly all unmethylated, and it is the unmethylated haplotype that is open. The bottom track plots the difference between the two, red where it is most significant. Loss of methylation here has been associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
