Sequencing of medically-relevant SNPs. Each target is one or a few nucleotides, so a quick PCR and read-out would have a use. Maybe still not competitive if other platforms can do more at the same cost and speed.
Expression analysis... just need a short tag of the transcript. miRNAs are short anyway. Local assembly could convert short reads into longer pseudoreads (see RAD PE assembly or Moleculo).Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com

A key question to ask of your technology is how it will perform in the presence of a non-clonal DNA sample. Simplest case is an essentially 50:50 mixture (heterozygote), but for other applications could it detect either an infrequent allele or many mixed alleles.

Yes, you could screen cell-free blood DNA for tumor alleles (at less than 1% frequency) if you had an excellent error rate and reduced the time for turning sample -> data.Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
