    Found an eyelash in my sealed MiSeq Reagent cartridge

    Is this like winning the lottery? Should I make a wish?

    Do you mean within one of the reagent wells or just w/in the cardboard packaging? If there's an eyelash getting into the reagents then Illumina needs to take a serious look at their quality control.

          WGA on the root, then sequence it!

            Leading to the ethical dilemma of whether to fully report clinically actionable data derived from a biological contaminate.

              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
