PacBio (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PACB#NASDAQ">PACB</a>), a leader in high-quality, long-read sequencing, is proud to announce its critical role in a study to be published in Nature Genetics. The study, titled&nbsp;Synchronized long-read genome, methylome, epigenome, and transcriptome for resolving a Mendelian condition, showcases how researchers leveraged PacBio's advanced sequencing solutions, including the synchronized Fiber-seq and Kinnex (formerly MAS-seq) multiomic approach, to uncover the genetic and molecular basis of a rare and complex Mendelian condition.
In collaboration with the University of Washington and the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN), the study applied PacBio's state-of-the-art Revio&#x2122; sequencing system to integrate long-read genomic, transcriptomic, methylomic, and epigenomic data in a synchronized analysis to analyze a 9-month-old patient with an unsolved condition involving bilateral retinoblastomas, developmental delays, and additional symptoms. Previous diagnostic methods, including short-read sequencing, were unable to provide an answer. With PacBio's innovative multiomic solutions, researchers identified a chromosome X;13 balanced translocation disrupting four key genes—each through a unique molecular mechanism.
