New player?

Is this a new player?

Your guess is as good as ours :-)

I wonder if this is an "illumina" clone meant only for the asian markets (like some phones out there). Illustration looks suspiciously like a GAIIx.

Copying 10 year old technology doesn't seem very new to me.

Suspicious ..yes..

Plagiarism, hypocrisy AND racism…classy!

From the 'Investors' page:

"We will start by fulfilling the research needs in Asia…"

Is it really racist to note that some products are available only in certain markets?

Maybe they have IP issues outside of Asia?

In the light of the following information, yes I would say so, someone should inform Illumina, if they are not already aware.:-

Copying 10 year old technology doesn't seem very new to me.

The initial patent around the MinION technology is about 20 years old....

[dannyhi321]

The initial patent around the MinION technology is about 20 years old....

Do you have a ref for that? I would find it useful and interesting, as I am sure, many others will.

[NextGenSeq]

The initial patent around the MinION technology is about 20 years old....

But this company is using SBS chemistry which is basically a modification of Sanger sequencing which is about 40 years old.

[NextGenSeq]

Do you have a ref for that? I would find it useful and interesting, as I am sure, many others will.

[GenoMax]

If genedrabio has actually managed to reverse-engineer SBS chemistry (even for GAII) then that may be a feat in itself.

There is more information about SBS here: http://www.genedrabio.com/en/seq_reagents.php

Are Illumina's original patents on this expiring?
