  • Announcing Complete Genomics Cancer Grant Program

    As the use of DNA sequencing data in cancer research has become widespread, significant progress is being made with respect to characterization of a variety of cancers. As we learn more about the mechanisms of these diseases, we can improve the way we diagnose and treat cancer patients. We are seeing more and more examples every day, where sequencing is being used as a vital element of cancer research. Complete Genomics is committed to supporting and further enabling cancer research using our complete genome sequencing platform through close collaboration with and support of the scientific community.

    We are pleased to announce our Cancer Grant Program whereby we will reward innovative and unique project proposals in the area of Cancer research. This is an opportunity for any researcher to compete to win complete human genome sequencing of four tumor/normal pairs (8 samples in total) at no charge.

    Here is how the program will work. Any eligible researchers should complete the program application, including an abstract, and submit this to Complete Genomics by midnight PDT, on July 29th, 2011. The application will be judged by a two-step process by Complete Genomics Commercial and Scientific leaders.

    We will select and announce two winners each from North America and Europe, for a total of 4 winners.

    For more information on this program and to submit an application please go to the web page for this program on Complete Genomics website at this link:

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...
