The purpose of this requirement is to procure a service contract for NHGRI/NISC for a Pacific Biosciences PacBio RS II Sequencer System for 12-Months. The NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC) is a high-throughput sequencing center supporting all institutes within the NIH. NISC has served the NIH community for over 15 years as a source for high-quality large-scale sequencing and analysis. The very long reads produced by the Pacific Biosciences SEQUEL II Sequencing System make possible studies of structural variation and repeat content as well as copy number changes, all of which are difficult if not impossible to discern with short read sequence data.
