With the HiSeq platforms (2500 and X), Illumina is dominating genome sequencing (WGS and exome). But for RNA-Seq, does the Proton have a chance? We lay out the case in our latest blog.

Well, the Heliscope never sold well, but Helicos didn't really focus on counting applications in the beginning. Perhaps if they had that platform would have found a niche that allowed it to survive. (But you can still use it as a service via SeqLL.com)Originally posted by Chipper View PostComment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
