    Any use for a 20 base sequencer?

    Any use for it?

    Sequencing of medically-relevant SNPs. Each target is one or a few nucleotides, so a quick PCR and read-out would have a use. Maybe still not competitive if other platforms can do more at the same cost and speed.

    Expression analysis... just need a short tag of the transcript. miRNAs are short anyway. Local assembly could convert short reads into longer pseudoreads (see RAD PE assembly or Moleculo).

      Probably not the best idea to publicize your PhD before it is complete...you don't want to get scooped.

        A key question to ask of your technology is how it will perform in the presence of a non-clonal DNA sample. Simplest case is an essentially 50:50 mixture (heterozygote), but for other applications could it detect either an infrequent allele or many mixed alleles.

          Yes, you could screen cell-free blood DNA for tumor alleles (at less than 1% frequency) if you had an excellent error rate and reduced the time for turning sample -> data.

            And more importantly, how is this better than established array technology. FET sensing of hybridization has been published time and again over the past 10 years.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

              Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
              by SEQadmin2



              Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

              There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
