We currently have a GAIIx but are upgrading to the HiSeq. Today I noticed that the HiSeq library prep kit is over $500 more than the old paired end library kit. Does anyone know what the difference is? Will my old libraries work on the new cBot?

I'm not sure, cause I didn't have much experience in library construction, but there's no big changes between GA2 and Hiseq, just add one flowcell access and more efficient in flowcell itself, so I suppose the old one could be work, not so sure~~ -
They told me the library kits work the same. The cBot cluster kit is different from the old cluster station though (and more expensive, how surprising).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...Yesterday, 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...
