Hong Kong scientists are reporting the case of a healthy man in his 30s who became reinfected with coronavirus four and a half months after his first bout. They say genome sequencing shows the two strains of the virus are “clearly different”, making it the world’s first proven case of reinfection. Image copyright.

We’re delighted to be working with Genomics England to demonstrate how PacBio HiFi sequencing can help identify the genetic causes of rare disease that remain undiagnosed after short read sequencing. In antimicrobial resistance research, scientists need continual genomic-level analysis to understand resistance and the evolution of microbes.

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. If you look at a region that is repeated or deleted, by, for example, 10,000 nucleotides in length and you’ve got a tiny read, you can’t match that to the genome with any confidence.”.
