Pacific Biosciences Multiplexed Arrays Sequencing

Oct 20, 2022

Pacific Biosciences has launched a new kit for single-cell transcriptome sequencing. Multiplexed Arrays Sequencing (MAS-Seq), developed in partnership with the Broad Institute and 10x Genomics, supports single-cell gene expression and RNA isoform research. MAS-Seq will help single-cell researchers better identify and characterize novel isoforms, novel driver mutations, and cancer fusion genes, PacBio said. Accompanying the kit is new SMRTLink software to support single-cell transcriptome analysis.
