What is the mutation detection rate for 454, solexa, and SOLiD if any one have any idea, is there any pub referenced on that ? Thanks

There was a paper involving P. stiptis which indicated that all three platforms were able to pick up known SNPs with only a very small false discovery rate and a zero false negative rate. Basically on this small organism and at a high depth of coverage all three platforms work equally well. At least that is what I remember. I don't have the citation off hand so that the above with a grain of salt.

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...
