I’ve been meaning to write up a post on a BioRxiv report from earlier this year: “Scaling single cell transcriptomics through split pool barcoding”1. The Seelig Lab at the University of Washington have developed a single-cell RNA sequencing method to enable labelling RNA molecules with cell-of-origin information using […]
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! […]
The Qiagen GeneReader is an NGS platform developed for the clinic and aims to deliver a sample-to-answer solution. I covered the “launch” of the instrument at the end of 2016 and summarised some of the details but there was no public data to take a […]
Two publications presenting really cool technologies recently caught my attention: “Lego for molecular biology” and “CATCH-Seq: CRISPR for target enrichment sequencing”. Both are technologies I’d like to play with, and my son can join in the Lego modelling if we build some here in Cambridge! Lego […]
Introducing NovaSeq This is the second part of my “everything you wanted to know about NovaSeq blog and in it I’ll finish up by discussing some of the challenges the instrument presents for Core Labs and their users, and the costs of running NovaSeq compared to […]
