There appears to be a lot of excitement about the Marco Island conference this year? Are there any Seqanswers members attending who can update the rest of us?

Rock on, I was just about to post this. I will put this out on the RSS feed and see if we can drag some people in!
Hope you don't mind if I edit your title before I put it out there!

Have Agilent announced their array enrichment plans yet? I hear it's nearly kitted and ready for release?Comment

What is kitted? The long oligos for the whole exonome? I think Nimblegen is more ready to release their "kit".Originally posted by ECO View PostComment

Sorry. I meant that some information I have (via Agilent reps) tells me that they are about to release an enrichment methodology that has been refined to the degree that it will be available in "kit" format (ie...reagents plus enrichment oligo sets).Originally posted by seqer View Post
It was a big secret from Agilent reps, that would be annouced at Marco Island.Comment

Thanks ECO! Has anyone heard anything from agilent at AGBT? If anyone could give a brief summary of AGBT, that would be really awesome!Originally posted by ECO View PostComment

Just found the following here:
So it's a solution phase capture array. Figured they would move away from that Church gap-filling/circularization method.“We prepare a labeled derivative of Agilent’s oligo libraries to use for direct capture of target sequences by hybridization. The method is highly multiplexed, with a simple, efficient and inexpensive laboratory process, thus overcoming the sample preparation bottleneck.”
Seems like this will make hybridization time and cost much less than a Nimblegen capture array, especially if they amplify the pool of oligo's after they are cleaved from the chip.

PacBio Highlight
The highlight of AGBT had to be the first public presentation from Steven Turner at Pacific Biosciences - a fitting way to close a great meeting. Here's more on what young Steve and his PacBio pals are up to:

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...
