Hi all!
I'm curious, what are the major bottlenecks for you in NGS library preparation? Does automation solve them?

Sample QC before library prep is the major bottleneck for us -
sara_ahmed, could you please explain more, what issue do you have with the sample QC? Do you work with DNA or RNA?Comment

We work with both. It is not necessarily a problematic step, just the slow step when dealing with a high volume of samples. It is also not solved easily by automation.Comment

Fragmentation of genomic DNA if you have a single sample covaris!
Any kind of gel extraction.Comment

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...
