SINGAPORE ’ S NATIONAL PRECISION MEDICINE PROGRAMME WILL PARTNER WITH PACBIO TO PROPEL HIFI SEQUENCING IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
This joint effort will harness PacBio ’ s state-of-the-art HiFi sequencing technology to offer profound insights into genetic diversity , disease mechanisms and clinical diagnoses within Singapore ’ s multi-ethnic population .
PacBio , a leading developer of high-quality , highly accurate sequencing solutions , has announced that Precision Health Research , Singapore ( PRECISE ) has chosen the Revio HiFi sequencing system for its Long-Read Sequencing Flagship Project . This initiative aims to generate the largest long-read sequencing dataset in Southeast Asia , marking a significant advancement for precision medicine in Singapore .
As part of Singapore ’ s three-phase National Precision Medicine ( NPM ) programme , the current phase of the NPM aims to transform healthcare in Singapore and improve patient outcomes through new insights into the Asian genome . Hence , this collaboration will harness PacBio ’ s state-of-the-art HiFi sequencing technology to offer profound insights into genetic diversity , disease mechanisms , and clinical diagnoses within Singapore ’ s multiethnic population .
This partnership highlights the critical role of PacBio ’ s HiFi sequencing technology in advancing precision medicine . Beyond the capabilities of traditional short-read sequencing technologies , PacBio ’ s long-read sequencing provides comprehensive
