Pacific Biosciences has introduced a new method for detecting DNA methylation simultaneously with DNA sequencing.  They are calling it 5-base sequencing.Today on the program, Jonas Korlach, PacBio’s Chief Scientific Officer, and Tomi Pastinen, the Director of the Genomic Medicine Center at Children’s Mercy Research Institute in Kansas City join us to describe the new breakthrough and connect it to clinical possibilities.

5-Base Sequencing:  Jonas Korlach and Tomi Pastinen

Jonas Korlach is a natural storyteller—a rare trait in a scientist who is more comfortable presenting data than talking of himself.   Jonas is the co-inventor of PacBio’s SMRT (single molecule, real time) sequencing, and we wanted to hear from him directly how it all got started, and also when the team realized that they had something big with long reads and close to 100X coverage.  How many of us can boast of hitting it out of the park on our first try?
