  • Genia



    There are not very many details on Genia's website, but what little is there reads like a carbon copy of Oxford's stuff.

    So how does this not infringe on everything Oxford is doing?

    Don´t know the answer. Only that Life technologies has put alot of money on it!
    It is under my radar!

        Interesting interview with their CEO here.

        Sounds very, very, very much like ONT. Beta's out at the end of the year, commerical in 2013.
        Now, one of the most interesting things is that he's quoting price ranges. Sub-$100 disposable chips and sub-$1k chip readers (about 9:30 in the vid and again at 14:30).

          He seems to think a lipid bilayer is a cell wall.

            I can't comment on the IP issues (there seems to be so much nanopore IP out there, I don't know how they all keep it straight), but what Genia claims to have over other nanopore companies is their expertise in using analog-to-digital sensors directly on integrated circuits. They say it gives them control over the creation of lipid bilayers, the addition of the protein nanopore, and precise control over the movement of the DNA molecules (back and forth through the pore for multiple reads). They also claim to be able to ramp up to 1M sensors (each with an individual pore) on a 1cm X 1cm chip.

            I love what ONT is demonstrating with how their instruments can operate in tandem, but it isn't clear how many independent sensors/pores they'll have per well. Does anyone know?

            I've placed what I know about Genia and ONT on BlueSEQ's knowledgebank (along with a dozen other emerging NGS technologies): http://blueseq.com/knowledgebank/emerging-technologies/

                Yeah, I don't think I'd hold my breath on that one...

                  They are presenting tomorrow/today I think, we shall see. My prediction is "not very many". Hope I am wrong.

                      Not yet, but they should be. I would love to hear more details about how the Q-SEQ device will work. Feel free to contact me directly.

                          A group at the Salk presented data at AGBT13 using modified Starlight (no quantum dots).

                            Very interesting. Do you know if they've purchased the IP from $LIFE or if they have any commercialization plans?

                              After effectively exiting the NGS market in 2013, Roche is making moves to get back into it with their acquisition of Genia for up to $350M ($125 up front and $225 in potential future payments). Read more on our blog.

                                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                                by seqadmin


                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
