What they do

Problem

Short-read DNA sequencers cannot easily generate long-read sequence information needed for applications like structural variant detection and haplotyping.

Solution

A long-read DNA sequencing platform that converts standard short-read sequencers into long-read sequencing systems.

Who it's for

Genomics researchers and clinical laboratories using short-read sequencing instruments.
