Short Description: The Vega system deliver high-standard HiFi sequencing, ensuring consistent, accurate data. HiFi reads cover all regions of the genome, providing the most complete and precise assemblies and variant calls.  Unlike short reads, HiFi captures full-length transcripts and repetitive regions, delivering the most comprehensive sequencing data.
