Novogene has recently installed PacBio’s latest high-throughput sequencing system—Revio. Revio delivers exceptional performance in terms of throughput with excellent base quality. This cutting-edge technology promises a historically high throughput of 360 Gb of HiFi reads per day, making a significant 15× increase compared to the previous Sequel II system. Novogene has validated runs with DNA HiFi libraries of plants, animals and human. The results show that the system may produce a maximum output of up to 110.5 Gb per SMRT cell, which surpass the standard data output of 90Gb per SMRT cell published by PacBio. The enhanced capabilities of Revio system will allow Novogene to add high throughput to HiFi long reads sequencing and direct methylation detection for a wide array of applications.

1.HiFi yield per SMRT cell of Revio system

The average data output per SMRT cell is 98.4Gb, with a quality value of 31.2. Additionally, the platform demonstrates a maximum data output of 110.5 Gb per SMRT cell.

2.Testing results of multiplexed libraries

DNA multiplexed libraries, consisting of three animal samples and three plant samples are sequenced on Revio system respectively. The results show that each animal sample yields more than 30Gb HiFi reads, and the data demultiplexing rate reaches a level of more than 99%.

3.Comparison of sequencing data achieved on Sequel II system and Revio

Human and plant gDNA samples are used for HiFi library preparation and sequenced on PacBio’s Sequel II system and Revio system respectively to evaluate the performance differences. The results indicate that the Revio system is able to yield 2-3 times more HiFi data per SMRT cell compared to Sequel II. Furthermore, Revio completes the sequencing in a shorter run time, while maintaining a mean data quality > Q30.

4.Data analysis of human whole genome sequencing on Revio system

The achieved mapping rate of human whole genome is 99.91%, with coverage across the entire genome of 99.64% and an average sequencing depth of 38X.
