    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:

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by GATTACAT
      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
