    Best/ cheapest Platform for RNA-Seq

    I am a MS student working with soil microbiome. I am looking for the presence of a gene family in soils under certain conditions and would like to use RNASeq to profile its expression in soil community. Gene is conserved in bacteria and fungi, so I will be analyzing the transcriptomes of both. Illumina HiSeq is off the table, but Im looking into Illumina MiSeq, IonTorrent, or Roche 454. Anyone have any insight?
    Thanks

      If you need volume sequencing with the lowest error rate then of the two remaining (454 is deprecated) MiSeq is the clear winner. If you don't have access to a local core then you can comparison shop at allseq.com or genohub.com.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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          ...

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing          ...
