Making Sense of Next-Generation Sequencing Data
The meaning of large-scale study producing massive amount of data has changed with next-gen sequencing revolution. Thanks to Next-Gen sequencing applications, these days even small projects are data intensive. Then there are a different breed of projects like ENCODE or 1000 Genomes project, producing Next-Gen sequencing data on a massive scale. The massive data from these [...]
American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)’s 62nd Annual Meeting is kicking off in a week (Tuesday, November 6 ) in San Francisco, CA, at the Moscone Center. The five day conference covers the latest on all aspects of human genetics research. Among many interesting things to look for at the conference (like the Illumina MiSeq winners), [...]
MacroGen USA, Rockville MD based Korean biotech company recently launched new Next-Gen Sequencing services for human exome and transciptome is running a special launching price offer till 31st October. Under the special offer, Macrogen will sequence Human Exome 150X coverage and human RNA Seq (transcriptome) of 10GB throughput for $1,999 per sample when more than [...]
BGI Americas sort of extended its deep exome sequencing offer until September 30, by slightly lowering the price of 100x coverage package and keeping the price of 200X coverage data as the same. The new deep next-gen sequencing offer for 100X exome coverage costs $1649 per sample and it is $150 cheaper than previous promotional [...]
In a relatively short history of Next-Gen Sequencing, BGI has become one of the key players in providing genome sequencing services. BGI made huge splashes in 2010 with its purchase of 128 Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencers as soon as Illumina unveiled it and by settings its foot on american soil at Boston, MA. As part [...]
