AGBT Roundup / News Thread
Feb 25, 2010 - 8:21 AM - by ECO
The big sequencing applications/technology conference (AGBT) is underway in Florida now, and there is quite a bit of electronic reporting activity going on.

Probably the most up-to-date source is to be had from following the #AGBT hashtag on twitter. Interesting to get up-to-the-second coverage of talks.

Also, Anthony Fejes is keeping his blog stuffed with his detailed notes from the talks.

Illumina's new sequencers: HiSeq, GAIIx, GAIIe or iScan-Seq
Jan 20, 2010 - 4:10 AM - by james hadfield
So Illumina now have four sequencers available; GAIIx, HiSeq, GAIIe and iScan sequencing module (are they still doing this?). All offer exactly the same applications, biochemistry and data. But they differ in output.

The GAIIx, GAIIe and iScan seq module (? but I will not really consider it here any more) use the same flowcells but generate very different amounts of data. How do they do this? Is it a smaller camera or fewer tiles? Could it be lower cluster density? Or is the data slimmed down computationally? With any of these I suspect there may be possibilities to increase...

Illumina's new sequencer: HiSeq 2000
Jan 12, 2010 - 7:27 PM - by mccullou
Wow GAII just came out last year, they just now got the reagents QC under control after their SNAFU and now this. . .

How different can this be? It uses the cBot (which I have but there are no reagents to buy yet) so I know the cluster station is more walk away, but is the sequencing chemistry and engineering so much better as to:
