Question: How HiFi Reads Different from Traditional PacBio Long Reads ?

Trying to understand HiFi reads, any link could help ...

By calling consensus from subbreads produced by multiple passes of the enzyme around a circularized template, HiFi reads are generated. This results in both lengthy and effective HiFi reads. In comparison, traditional PacBio long reads are created by a single pass of the enzyme around a circularized template, which does not provide the high accuracy feature of HiFi reads, although it allows for longer read lengths overall.
