Do you guys have any idea which NGS platform is the most suitable for doing the whole genome rearrangement project ?

Any paired-end or long read platform will be adequate.
Solexa, SOLiD and 454 will all work for this type of project, and you should consider how much you're planning to sequence and what resources are available to you to decide which to use.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

Also, if you're looking at structural variation ... a mate-paired library would be ideal.Nicolas Tremblay

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
