Continuing with my summary of what happened at #AGBT23 here’s my round up of the big announcements from Illumina. Of course whilst much of the data presented at the meeting was generated on an Illumina sequencer there was a very significant amount of non-Illumina data […]

Sorry this one is over a year late – but I needed to link to it for my more recent AGBT post!James Illumina has been hugely successful in developing SBS chemistry but their lack of competition in short-read sequencing is being challenged by long-term players […]

The new G4 benchtop sequencer from Singular Genomics is here. Sept 17th 2021 saw the first picture of the G4 in the wild from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (see below). For anyone still recovering from a 2021 New Year’s hangover, the G4 is a […]

Update on @illumina index-swapping: better barcode design

By | April 24th, 2017|Categories: "Experimental design controls etc", Core facilities, Methods and applications, Next-generation sequencing|Tags: , , |2 Comments

Last week I followed up on the index-swapping issue after Illumina released their white paper and also covered what Ethan Linck at The Molecular Ecologist had posted about the Sinha et al BioRxiv paper. In that post I said I’d write a follow-up post about index design over the weekend – here it is! […]
