A little but of fun for the weekend. Don’t take this seriously!
The Ultimate Generation Sequencer comes in 2 colors and besides sequencing A, C, G and T, it also sequences the remaining 22 letters of the alphabet.
It is going to be available in 2 years like any other sequencing technology currently developed.
BusinessWire published an article about Almac and Omixon. Almac is launching a Next Generation Sequencing service to support the development of personalized medicine and collaborates with Omixon.
Almac already perform Next Generation Sequencing for Omixon, a bioinformatics company focused on the development of validated data analysis solutions to scientists working in genomics with special emphasis on clinical and diagnostic applications. Attila Bérces, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Omixon said:
“Omixon aims to provide the most accurate and highest quality DNA analysis software. Almac complements our effort by providing the highest quality sequencing data. The MiSeq data we received from Almac is of highest quality which helped Omixon in developing and validating our HLA-typing software. Next Generation Sequencing can revolutionize HLA-typing which is carried out on millions of samples annually.”
We have been receiving e-mails from people from around the world asking about the basics of next generation sequencing. As we design a product for the analysis of such data and as we share news focusing on clinical genomics day by day, it is a bit our duty to describe the basics of the technique and concept of NGS.
First, in short:
Then in details:
And the second part of it:
We would like to inform you that we have been publishing news, analyses and commentaries about next generation sequencing on Facebook and Twitter as well. Please check it out, leave a comment and engage with our readers.
There are so many things to talk about related to NGS, and we should do that together by forming a community that filters and crowdsources the most important pieces of information every single day.
