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.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 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
