Pacific Biosciences details Kivvi findings

Pacific Biosciences of California announced that all 11 contracted D4Z4 alleles were detected using the Kivvi tool with PacBio HiFi data.

According to a recent preprint, Kivvi enables detailed characterization of repeat size, sequence, chromosome origin, and methylation in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) research. The development suggests broader applications in genetic research and analysis.

Pacific Biosciences of California has recently focused on expanding access to its HiFi sequencing platform, launching the Vega SPRQ-Nx system for biopharma research. The company has also provided its sequencing technology to a global undiagnosed disease hackathon in Singapore, supporting new applications in clinical research. These initiatives align with its continued efforts to advance genomics solutions.
