Ion Torrent 318 chips
Hi,
Has anyone out there tried the 318 chips? any insights in terms of performance?
Thanks!

They are not yet commercially available -- and I suspect beta testers are under CDA. Still, can't hurt to ask. -
Maybe they were passed around in presentations during this week's road trip. Maybe someone managed to pocket one?

I know they are not out yet. this was a "behind the scenes" question...Comment

Had some problem with the language, but the pics are great..

wow I felt like a KGB agent reading that... I mean pretending to know Russian

Good to know that the Russians and Chinese are still reverse engineering American technology. That's a surefire way to follow and not lead.Comment

Thanks for the picture! With smaller wells are we also expecting to see a drop in signal? Wondering what the delay for the 318 is...was originally supposed to be released in Mid 2011...Comment

I see, just closer together now...more crosstalk with closer wells then?Comment

I don't think the 318 is 'late' quite yet. The 316 was promised (and delivered) mid 2011. 318 was promised 6 months after that, which is right about now. I'm guessing we'll see it by AGBT.Originally posted by singaporeseq View PostComment

I was told today by an Ion Torrent service provider that it is commercially available (though they aren't yet offering it), but I don't see it in the store. Perhaps there is an expanded early access program?Comment
-
It is in early access (Developer Access section).Comment

Are they selling the 318, I think we're about to buy the MiSeq, but we can't keep holding on the purchase any longer... any updates on this?Comment

Looks like they just announced the commercial availability of the 318 chip (more or less on time): http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...136921308.html
For me, the surprising statement from this press release was "In the second half of 2012 we expect to increase read lengths on the Ion Torrent PGM up to 400 bases."
Rothberg was talking about 400b reads by the end of 2011 back in June. Has progress really slowed down that much?Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM
