The National Institute on Aging’s Long Life Family Study (LLFS) selected PacBio technology to generate genomic and epigenomic data from as many as 7,800 participants. The effort will rely on PacBio’s Revio systems to capture HiFi long-read sequencing data designed to shed light on why longevity runs in families and what drives healthier aging. “Long-read HiFi sequencing gives us the accuracy and resolution to see variants and methylation patterns missed by other technologies,” said Michael Province, PhD, professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and principal investigator of the project. “By generating comprehensive genomes and epigenomes from…
