I wonder if anyone have update on Sequel performance and how it compares to RSII.

There was a PacBio user group meeting in Baltimore (in last two weeks) where an update was given about Sequel performance (based on a note I saw from a FAS). Apparently that information has not been published but if someone on SeqAnswers was in attendance then they may be able to comment.

Thanks GenoMax. The system release was announced almost 8 months ago and I thought there might be some installed machines in production or in validation phase where some operators might have been trained and seen some real data to compare with Sequel announced specs or RSII.

We don't have any data, but we have a (growing) list of service providers who have installed the Sequel platform: http://ngs.is/PBSequelOriginally posted by nucacidhunter View PostThanks GenoMax.

This is a big mystery. There are reports of machines in the wild (at least with close collaborators of PacBio) but no one seems to have released real data as yet. There is nothing EBI-ENA at this time either.Originally posted by nucacidhunter View PostThanks GenoMax.

A few service providers had told me they expect to start providing Sequel services in June. I expect we should see some data soon?
At the UGM pacbio did mention they expect to start shipping their new chip at the end of the month along with a new loading protocol. So maybe service providers are waiting for that? I'm sure Sequel owners here would have a better idea of whats going on though.

Hi Brian,
is this with your previous or the new employer?
Thanks!

It is hard to tell but the description for this dataset seems to include verbiage about Sequel (not sure why the submitters would include that if this was a RSII): http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/SRX1684788
Most likely a red herring but who knows. Raw bax/bas.h5 files are available in case someone is curious (http://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces...run=SRR3342814 under Download tab).Last edited by GenoMax; 07-22-2016, 05:21 AM.

HiOriginally posted by Brian Bushnell View PostNo... most of what we sequence comes from remote users. But, we do all the library construction here, and I believe we reject samples that do not have high molecular weight DNA, or insufficient mass.
We are facing some issues with our new sequal system installed recently. Pacbio team is unable suggest loading clear loading concentration of different sized library.
The out put varies with each run and the maximum we got till now is 3.2gb for 2 kb library.
For the higher sized library the runs will yield 0.2-0.9gb per SMRT.We are unable to find out where the problem lies.Also after completing each run the volume of libraries pickedup from the sample well is not consistent.
Pac bio suggestion for the loading conc is 50-60pM for any size library.
There is another suggestion from PacBio is that system and smrtlink need to be restarted every 24 days, Is it true?
Please help

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...-

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...-
