Hi, we are planning to do metagenomics we want to go for commercial sequencing since we don't have access to different NGS platforms which are suitable for metagenomics i.e. illumina MiSeq, 454 Roche, Ion torrent. Since its for the first time for us to do metagenomics so some basic questions arise that how much neucleotide data is generated per sample in these plat forms or if there is a reference to follow

Illumina HiSeq offers the maximum volume for the lowest cost, and thus tends to be the best choice for metagenomics.
For targeted 16S, though, MiSeq is better, as it offers longer reads.Last edited by Brian Bushnell; 09-03-2015, 12:21 AM.

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...
