*Learn how PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing delivers greater than 99.9% accuracy—without PCR amplification.*

By combining multiple passes over the same native molecule, HiFi sequencing generates a single highly accurate long read. This process overcomes GC bias, resolves hard-to-sequence regions, and detects methylation—all in a single run. The result is an accurate, long-read sequence and epigenetic data you can trust.

*The HiFi difference*
- *Unmatched accuracy:* Achieve 99.9% accuracy to confidently detect variants of all types.
- *Uniform coverage:* Sequence GC-rich, repetitive, and "dark" regions that other technologies miss.
- *Native methylation:* Detect base modifications directly without PCR or bisulfite treatment.
- *Long read lengths:* Span full-lengths to resolve structural variants and isoforms.
