  • Somewhat vicious, somewhat funny



    Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The references to PacBio and their latest claims are covered up in a paper-thin veil.

      It's a satire or a spoof of sequencing marketing & hype - timed with the AGBT meeting - not a specific dig at any one company! I thought it was brilliant.

        I would have expected you to like it - It is posted under your name on the blog, so I assumed you wrote it.

        Edit: On further reading, sent to you by Neil on Twitter?

          I didn't write it, as I said I was sent it by Neil Hall!

            Not sure I buy this. The all-consonant acronyms, the references to gold sponsors at AGBT (on the Twitter feed), the 99.999% consensus accuracy helped along by Illumina reads --- there are just too many coincidences. It is very funny but whoever wrote it definitely had PACB in mind

                It does rhyme with PacBio, but the salesmanship reminds me of another company instead

                  Frankly, the level of BS marketing involved in ALL sequencing machine provider is beyond me... When I see how much it actually costs society (purchase, red tape, infrastructure, qualification, service, usability and life span) to get one long read, I ask myself if the Talibans have won...

                    Chill out...the fun has just begun.




                    Oxford Nanopore's AGBT presentation should have just finished up, so the embargo is off.  Oxford was kind enough to chat with me last night ...

                      Let's leave this thread alone here in the "PacBio" sub-forum - there's a thread over in "the pipeline" sub-forum on Oxford Nanopore,

                        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...
