Test Overview & Methodology
The PacBio Sequel II 1GB long-read sequencing service provides ultra-high molecular weight genomic analysis with HiFi reads, ideal for structural variant detection, phasing, and de novo assembly—exceeding the resolution of short-read platforms. The technology utilizes Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) circular consensus sequencing to achieve Q30 quality and >99% consensus accuracy with haplotype-resolved data.
| Feature | Our Test (PacBio Sequel II HiFi) | Closest Alternative (Short-Read NGS) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Q30 quality, >99% consensus accuracy, Haplotype-resolved | Q30 for SNVs, but structural rearrangements often missed; no phasing |
| Method | Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) CCS, 1GB throughput | Illumina sequencing by synthesis, 150 bp reads |
| TAT & Price | 4 weeks, 9,000 AED (all inclusive) | 2-3 weeks, ~3,500 AED (limited detection) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without explicit consultation with your referring physician. Sequencing results do not constitute acute treatment advice.
Patient Safety – Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Severe hemophilia or active bleeding disorder uncontrolled – venipuncture risk; alternative sampling route required.
- Inadequate extracted DNA: sample must be high molecular weight, OD 260/280 ratio 1.8‑2.0, concentration ≥ 50 ng/µL, shipped on dry ice.
- For minors (<18 years): consent must comply with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability – parental/legal guardian signature mandatory.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience chest pain, sudden neurological deficit, or severe allergic reaction, proceed to the nearest emergency department; do not wait for test instructions.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What can this long-read sequencing detect that standard panels cannot?
PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing can identify large structural variants, transposon insertions, segmental duplications, and provide gapless assemblies—alterations invisible to exome or short-read genome tests.
2. How should I prepare my sample, and can I submit extracted DNA?
You may provide 2‑5 mL of whole blood in EDTA (collected by our cold-chain mobile team) or ship high-quality extracted DNA (>50 ng/μL, OD 260/280 ratio 1.8‑2.0) on dry ice.
3. When will I receive my results, and how will they be explained?
The report is delivered within 4 weeks via encrypted email, followed by a scheduled 20-minute teleconsultation with our genomic clinical expert to interpret key findings and their implications.
