2023 APAC SUMMER GRANT FESTIVAL
ONSOTM SYSTEM
Seize the opportunity to be at the forefront of a revolution in short-read sequencing's accuracy with PacBio Onso system. Equipped with cutting-edge technology using state-of-the-art sequencing by binding (SBB) chemistry , Onso is set to redefine the landscape of short-read sequencing. Take your research to new heights by participating in this Asia-Pacific exclusive Onso SBB Grant.
15× higher accuracy than SBS sequencers
SBB chemistry delivers extraordinary levels of accuracy and sensitivity to confidently identify rare variants missed by other short-read sequencing platforms.
Less sequencing required
At Q30, the amount of coverage needed for certain applications (e.g. liquid biopsy research) is not economically feasible. The Onso system’s Q40+ performance provides high quality results at up to four fold less read depth than SBS.
Power through difficult to sequence regions of the genome
Near-perfect sequencing provides researchers accurate characterization of low complexity, highly repetitive regions for achieving more error-free genomes.
Seamless integration with existing short-read sequencing ecosystems
The Onso system will be available with an accuracy-enhanced library prep solution that enables a diverse set of popular short-read applications. Plus, third-party sample and library prep solutions are supported on Onso through a simple library conversion process. The Onso FASTQ file output ensures compatibility with downstream secondary and tertiary short-read analysis tools.
Sequencing by binding (SBB) is an innovative sequencing technology
that delivers exceptional NGS accuracy. By incorporating native nucleotides and removing
the need to cleave fluorescent modifications, the sequencing strand has minimal scarring and
results in higher accuracy base calls than other sequencing chemistries.
