NanoString Developing Novel Sequencing Chemistry Based on Optical Barcoding
At the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference, NanoString Technologies CEO Brad Gray said that the firm has been developing a novel single-molecule hybridization-based sequencing chemistry that leverages the company's optical barcoding technology.
Gray declined to provide details on the chemistry, which he dubbed Hyb&Seq, but said that it would be single-molecule, based on hybridization, and would not require amplification, the use of enzymes, or even library prep.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
