Welcome to the SMRT® Community

PacBio's single molecule real time sequencing community site is the central resource for life scientists, informatics researchers and independent software vendors to learn about SMRT® sequencing technology, share ideas and communicate with each other.

Protocols, datasets, source code, application programming interfaces, and documentation are shared and distributed throughout the site.

Coming Soon

PacBio's C2 chemistry will bring even longer reads.

SMRT Analysis v1.3 will support GATK and error correction for de novo assembly.

Analyze DNA Base Modifications

Our new R kinetics analysis tools help detect methylation and other base modifications. 

New! PacBio EDA from Sanger digs deep into PacBio data and subreads. Take a look!
