  • Dragen

    When I first heard about Dragen, it sounded interesting but recently Edico has started to make this platform available on AWS, as well as several Bioinformatics-as-a-service platforms, including DNANexus, Seven Bridges and Illumina's BaseSpace:

    I think we should all be taking a hard look at this for a couple of reasons:
    • These platforms bring it to a wide audience and make it user-friendly
    • Platform effects: It's a hardware platform with inherent limits on configurability. This will tend to drive users to stadardize on it and effectively freeze pipelines to this standard.
    • It's not available on all platforms.
    • It's really fast!


    Based on this, I think it's something to discuss because it's going to have a big impact on the industry.

    You forgot the main arguments against DRAGEN

    -licenses are limited by throughput
    -licenses are REALLY expensive
    -licenses are limited by application (buy DNA-seq, can't do RNA-seq).

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

      Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
      by seqadmin




      Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
