This post (and others like it) are pure speculation from me. I have no insider knowledge and am trying to make some educated guesses as to where technologies like this might go This is number three in a series of MiSeq posts focusing on what […]
Last week I posted on the press releases from Illumina and Life Technologies. I wanted to follow up in this post with some more details after talking to Illumina. I have to say that the details on the new flowcell are not directly from Illumina. […]
The recent announcements from Life Tech and Illumina, and the expected announcements from the competing technologies are giving us a hint of what it will be like to live in the $1000 genome world. From a genomics perspective the reduction in sequencing costs is very […]
In a previous post I discussed Ilumina and LifeTechs Amplicon sequencing products: TruSeq Custom Amplicon and AmpliSeq. Here I wanted to expand on the methods available and discuss some of the issues faced by people wanting to run amplicon sequencing projects. Below I briefly discuss […]
LifeTech and ABI have been battling it out for supremacy in next-gen sequencing for the last four years. Traditionally the lead up to the AGBT (Advances in Genome Biotechnology) conference has seen the major sequencing companies announce their latest developments. It is always exciting and […]
There are over 9000 Human transcripts <200bp in length which is about 5% of the total number of transcripts. When analysing some recent RNA-seq data here at CRI we noticed that only 17 detected transcripts from almost 30,000 are from transcripts shorter than 200bp. About […]
We are producing a lot of sequence data (see the GoogleMap and a previous post). And will continue to produce a lot more, Illumina have just made noises about 1TB runs on HiSeq using PE100bp runs (whether they will actually release this given recent stock […]
This post (and others like it) are pure speculation from me. I have no insider knowledge and am trying to make some educated guesses as to where technologies like this might go. This is part of my job description in many ways as I need […]
I was at the 3rd NGS congress in London on Monday and Tuesday this week and one of the topics we discussed in questions was quantitation of Illumina sequencing libraries. It is still a challenge for many labs and results in varying yields. The people […]
Danielle Perrin, from the genome centre at Broad presents an interesting webinar demonstrating what the Broad intends to do with MiSeq and lastly a 300bp single read dataset. Watch the seminar here. I thought I’d summarise the webinar as it neatly follows on from a […]
