PacBio is known in the genomics space for its HiFi sequencing technology—which provides long, highly accurate reads. But today, the company is announcing its entry into the high-throughput carrier screening market with a significantly expanded and enhanced suite of PureTarget products. The products leverage PacBio’s HiFi sequencing technology to allow clinical laboratories to consolidate multiple specialized assays into a single, scalable test capable of resolving some of the most challenging genes associated with inherited conditions. Recent research shows that up to 71% of individuals carry at least one pathogenic variant, highlighting the growing importance of carrier screening in family planning. The use of carrier…
