If you could use next-gen sequencing technology to answer any question....
May 07, 2008 - 12:22 PM - by ECO
...what small study would you do?

This is intended as a bit of fantasy, but a serious question, as I've often considered this question:

If you could do one small set of focused samples what would they be and what platform would you use to answer the question?

Cost/labor/your ability to analyze the data is not to be considered...we're talking pure scientific curiousity. Let's limit it to say one run on a GA/SOLiD, or 2-3 runs on 454, or a combination of short/long reads. But no more than 8-16 samples.

Moon rocks? Environmental mining? ... [Read More]

Fancy a peek inside Sanger's Illumina GA Pipeline?
May 02, 2008 - 8:41 PM - by ECO


So it has been brought to my attention that the Sanger has a publicly accessible "stats" page that contains quite a few statistics about their Illumina short read pipeline. The stats give a very interesting look into the daily operations of perhaps the highest throughput genome center in the world (...if I had a nickel for every PM I will get correcting me! ...

First Helicos Publication! Single Molecule DNA Seq of a "Viral" Genome
Apr 03, 2008 - 12:58 PM - by ECO


Science has just released the first publication detailing real data from the Heliscope.

They undertook the extremely exciting project of resequencing the M13 genome ( was I hoping for too much?) in collaboration with researchers at Ohio Univ and Stanford U.
