Pacific Biosciences makes machines that read DNA sequences to help researchers and hospitals understand genetic information. Their systems use technology that reads long stretches of DNA at once, which helps identify genetic disorders and mutations that are difficult to spot with other methods. The company sells sequencing instruments, along with the chemical reagents and kits needed to prepare samples and run tests. They serve research institutions, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and agricultural businesses around the world.
