PacBio – Vega, HiFi Long-Read Benchtop Sequencer
HiFi sequencing is the only long-read technology to provide 99.9% or better accuracy in every run. HiFi reads eliminate the tradeoff between read length and accuracy, allowing you to address your most complex biological questions. With over 1,000 peer-reviewed publications in 2023 alone and over 1,200 HiFi sequencers globally, Vega™ joins the PacBio® portfolio of reliable and established sequencing systems.
The Vega benchtop system delivers up to 60 Gb of HiFi data per run, methylation calling included, using a single SMRT® Cell. The onboard compute provides accurate base calling, HiFi read generation with DeepConsensus, methylation calling, barcode demultiplexing, and BAM file generation.
