Nucleome is the only service provider in South Asia that offers Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing on PacBio Sequel II that generates the long, accurate, single-molecule reads you need to comprehensively characterize samples with complex variation. With SMRT Sequencing you can:
- Identify closely related individuals within a heterogeneous mixture
- Track the rapid evolution in response to environmental conditions, immune pressures, or drug treatments
Highly accurate long reads – HiFi reads – with the single-molecule resolution are ideal for full-length 16S rRNA sequencing, shotgun metagenomic profiling, and metagenome assembly so that you can:
- Determine community composition at the species or strain-level with competitively priced full-length16S sequencing
- Identify 6-8 full-length genes in every HiFi read with efficient, cost-effective metagenomic profiling
- Generate up to 20 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) per multiplexed human faecal sample with just 6 Gb of HiFi data
- Leverage epigenomic data to associate contigs and plasmids from closely related strains
Full-length Metagenome assembly and functional profiling on PacBio Sequel II
HiFi sequencing on the PacBio Sequel II System enables complete microbial community profiling of complex metagenomic samples using whole genome shotgun sequences. With HiFi sequencing, highly accurate long reads overcome the challenges posed by the presence of intergenic and extragenic repeat elements in microbial genomes, thus greatly improving phylogenetic profiling and sequence assembly.
HiFi sequencing can be used even for sample types with limited starting material, allowing for reference quality MAGs, discovery of novel genes without the need for de novo assembly, identification of biochemical pathways, and resolution of taxa below the species level with confidence.

Full length 16s Amplicon Sequencing by Nucleome
Nucleome is the only service provider in South Asia that offers Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing on PacBio Sequel II that generates full length 16s amplicon sequencing. The ~1500 bp 16S rRNA gene comprises nine variable regions interspersed throughout the highly conserved 16S sequence. Sequencing the partial gene was originally accomplished by Sanger sequencing. This required cloning genes, generating, and assembling two to three reads per clone, and producing limited sampling depth at high cost and effort. The partial 16s rRNA gene sequencing misses to sequence the entire taxa of the bacterial community.
DIFFERENT SUB-REGIONS SHOWED BIAS IN THE BACTERIAL TAXA THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
- V4: Consistently poor performance
- V1–V2: poor for Proteobacteria
- V3–V5: poor for Actinobacteria
- V1–V3: good results for Escherichia / Shigella
- V3–V5: good results for Klebsiella,
- V6–V9: good results for Clostridium and Staphylococcus
Full V1–V9 region: the only way to resolve ALL the clades that may be present in a complex population. Order full length 16s Amplicon sequencing to Nucleome and discover Strain-level identification of bacterial communities with the unprecedented accuracy of PacBio HiFi reads.

Microbial genome sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of the microbial world. PacBio Sequel II, with its cutting-edge technology, has emerged as a game-changer in the field of microbial genomics. This state-of-the-art platform offers unparalleled advantages for sequencing microbial genomes, enabling researchers to delve deeper into the genetic diversity and functional potential of microorganisms. In this article, we will explore how PacBio Sequel II empowers scientists to unravel the mysteries of microbial genomes.
The Power of Long Reads:
One of the key features that sets PacBio Sequel II apart is its ability to produce long-read sequences. Traditional short-read sequencing technologies often struggle with complex microbial genomes due to their fragmented assembly. PacBio’s Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing technology generates long reads, making it easier to assemble and analyze microbial genomes, especially those with high GC content or repetitive regions.
High Accuracy and Low Error Rates:
PacBio Sequel II boasts impressive accuracy levels, even in regions that are challenging for other sequencing platforms. With the use of circular consensus sequencing (CCS), it is possible to obtain highly accurate HiFi reads (>99.99% accuracy). This is crucial when studying microbial genomes, as even a single base-pair error can significantly impact downstream analysis, such as functional gene prediction or comparative genomics.
Unraveling Genomic Complexity:
Microbial genomes are incredibly diverse and can contain complex structures, such as plasmids, transposons, and repeat elements. PacBio Sequel II’s long reads and high accuracy help researchers decipher these intricate genomic landscapes with ease. This technology is particularly valuable for investigating microbial populations, identifying genomic variations, and understanding horizontal gene transfer events.
Resolution of Epigenetic Modifications:
In addition to the genetic code, epigenetic modifications play a critical role in microbial function. PacBio Sequel II can identify and characterize DNA modifications, such as methylation patterns, providing insights into gene regulation, adaptation, and virulence mechanisms within microbial populations.
Applications in Microbial Genomics:
The versatility of PacBio Sequel II extends to a wide range of applications in microbial genomics:
- Microbial Diversity Studies: Explore the richness and diversity of microbial communities in various environments, from soil to the human microbiome.
- Functional Genomics: Understand the functional potential of microbes by annotating complete genomes and identifying important genes and pathways.
- Antimicrobial Resistance: Investigate the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance in pathogens, aiding in the development of targeted treatments.
- Phylogenetic Analysis: Build accurate phylogenetic trees and trace the evolutionary history of microorganisms.
- Metagenomics: Analyze complex microbial ecosystems without the need for culturing individual strains.
