    I would add Prognosys Biosciences in La Jolla as an Illumina GAII sequencing center.

    505 Coast Blvd. S
    La Jolla, California 92037
    858-459-2428

    This map is a great idea and will be very useful. Thanks!

    Nice work gents. James, the pins aren't showing up for the map you set up. David's seems to work.

    Edit: Nevermind. Just have to unview and view again. Added LIFE and corrected the location for Illumina's home base.

    David made some great comments and I have opened the map to collaborators and will try to mege our two maps to see how this works out.

    3. To consider having a map per continent, country or region, e.g., Europe, Australia, Oceania to avoid all the admin, setup etc falling on one altruist. One person has to “own” a GoogleMap, even though many others can contribute.
    In may ways I prefer to add anyone on SeqAnswers to the collaborator list on a single map to prevent things getting lost.

    4. To use a labelling approach that’s helpful and consistent across maps
    Absolutley, I tried to distinguish three main platforms and it is not easy. What do you do when there is everything in one lab! Your thoughts on this would be appreciated, anyone know how to build icons?

    Glad to see this has gotten peoples attention.

    here is a link, ask if you would like to be a collaborator and add your facility or any in your vicinity. I will need your email address to do this.

    GoogleMaps for next-gen: Suggestions about how to collaborate

    Hi All,
    First, big thanks to James for getting this happening. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, so when a colleague emailed me a pointer to this on SeqAnswers, I thought this opportunity to good to miss.

    I think geographical view of sequencing (and related) facilities will be a very useful resource, especially as an overview of a very rapidly changing environment. Recently, Ewan Birney (EBI) gave a seminar and workshop series in Australia and, when he asked the obvious question “what sort of ‘omics facilities does Australia have?” it was impossible to give a succinct response.

    I’m going to make some suggestions with the aim to create a map resource (or resources) that are (a) easy to search (b) easy to maintain (c) easy for anyone to contribute to.

    My suggestions are
    1. To use GoogleMaps as the platform, rather than anything more customised
    2. To follow GoogleMaps’ approaches to collaborating and sharing
    3. To consider having a map per continent, country or region, e.g., Europe, Australia, Oceania to avoid all the admin, setup etc falling on one altruist. One person has to “own” a GoogleMap, even though many others can contribute.
    4. To use a labelling approach that’s helpful and consistent across maps

    GoogleMaps provides the ability to import one GoogleMap into another (wanna try that James?) so it seems conceivable to create a master map from several others while devolving the responsibility of maintaining and managing different maps.

    To explore these ideas a bit further I started a map of Australian 'omics and bioinformatics (with all of four entries).

    I’d be interested to know your thoughts about this, or any ideas to make things work better.
    Cheers,
    David

    I love this idea and am looking into how to make it happen.

    (james I got your msg, will respond tonight).

    Unfortunately I cannot get Google Maps to do what I would like and make a publicly accessible map where anyone can add their location and equipment.
    Try a google map searh for "Genomics: nextgen", you should find it.

    How can I access ?

    Your map sounds very interesting and helpful !

    If your map is public, please let me know how can I access your map.

    Maybe, I could upload some information of Japan

    started a topic Google maps for next-gen facilities

    Google maps for next-gen facilities

    Hi everyone,
    I made a Google Map to try and add the facilities I knew of where there was a next-gen sequencer (and other genomics platforms). It is proving to be interesting to me but I would really like to make it easier for anyone to add content and search for users, always good when you want to find someone local to talk to!
    Is there anyone out there who could make a really useful map, post it and then members of SeqAnswers could update it?
    James.

    Map Title is "Genomics: NextGen sequencers; Illumina (Solexa), ABI SOLiD, Roche/454. Microarrays: Illumina BeadStation, Affymetrix"

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
