About Pacific Biosciences
Pacific Biosciences` mission is to transform the way humankind acquires
processes and interprets data from living systems. The company has developed a
disruptive technology platform for the real-time detection of biological events
at single molecule resolution. Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT) Biology promises
to revolutionize the life sciences by revealing the underlying networks that
define living systems. The first application for the SMRT Biology platform is a
paradigm changing approach to DNA sequencing. The SMRT Sequencing System will
ultimately make it possible to sequence individual genomes as part of routine
medical care. DNA sequencing is expected to be the first of many transformative
SMRT Biology applications that will benefit society by driving radical advances
in fields such as personalized medicine, agriculture, clean energy, and global
health.
