AGBT is over as far as many attendees are concerned, the sequencing landscape looks like it might be about to ramp up to the next gear. Again!The new MinION (read about the USB seqeuncer later on) will cost $500. assuming everyone at AGBT buys one […]
Day one of my attendance at the 2012 AGBT conference.I missed the Wednesday workshop, “Utilization of New DNA Sequencing Technologies” and the welcome reception which this year was sponsored by Agilent Technologies.Getting through Miami airport was a chore, nealr two hours for security!I decided to […]
I will be at this years AGBT and will be presenting poster number 124: “OmicsMaps.com – mapping the world’s sequencers” on Thursday, February 16th from 1:10pm to 2:40pm. Come and say hello and see if your lab is on the map, I may even be […]
In 2007 Nature Genetics asked “What would you do if it became possible to sequence the equivalent of a full human genome for only $1,000?” 49 people responded, and the list contains some of the great and good in Genome sciences including; Mike Stratton, James […]
I hope you like my latest attempt at producing genomics-based art. I must start by thanking Pacific Biosciences for giving me over 300 SMRT cells to use in this project. I also need to say thanks to my daughter who helped glue them all on, […]
ONT will be speaking at AGBT. 11:40 am-12:00 pmClive Brown, their Chief Technology Officer will be talking about “Single Molecule ‘Strand’ Sequencing Using Protein Nanopores and Scalable Electronic Devices†just before lunch on Friday at 11:40. But only for 20 minutes.Back in April last year […]
You may have come here from my other Nanopore post, if not then this is a follow-up to that and is meant to outline Nanopore sequencing technologies. How does a nanopore sequencer work: A nanopore is a very small hole, the generally under 1nM in […]
A follow-up post to this one explains what nanopores are and how they can be used for DNA sequencing. There has been a lot of hype around Nanopore sequencing for a number of years. The promise of very long single molecule sequencing with nucleotide modifications […]
Looks like Roche want a chunk of Illumina. There are press releases on both companies websites (Illumina and Roche) about Roches offer. There is little on the Illumina release except confirmation about the unsolicited acquisition proposal at $44.50 per share, this amounts of $5.7Bn according […]
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 […]
