    DNA Electronics partners with Roche to develop semiconductor based sequencing system

    DNA Electronics, a fabless semiconductor provider of solutions for real-time DNA and RNA analysis, announced today that it has entered a partnership with 454 Life Sciences, a Roche Company. The collaboration will focus on the development of a low-cost, high-throughput, long read, high density DNA sequencing system. As part of the agreement, DNA Electronics has signed a non-exclusive licence to provide relevant IP from its proprietary semiconductor technology portfolio to Roche. This technology which enables sensitive detection of nucleotide incorporation during sequencing will build on 454 Life Sciences’ current pyrosequencing-based platform. The collaboration leverages DNA Electronics’ unique knowledge of semiconductor design and expertise in pH-mediated detection of nucleotide insertions with 454 Life Sciences’ long read sequencing chemistry to produce a seamless evolution from optical detection to low-cost, highly scalable electrochemical detection.

        This was pretty interesting to me also...especially since DNA Electronics licensed their tech to Ion Torrent as well.

        Maybe we're heading for a big IP battle! Exciting...

          Exciting indeed eco

          I think the next 2 years is going to be great viewing for the impartial observer - and this site will probably give a pretty good front row seat!

            Sample prep for ISFETs

            I wonder if emPCR IP for sample prep will also fall into the fray. All the ISFET sensor tech will need a bead in a well for measurement until solid state nanopores come along.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
