      Looks like ONT has become a threat.
      Illumina used to scoff at them.

      Competition is good for customers. Illumina is a one-trick pony and their technology is headed to the glue factory.

          Patent fights converge to the more wealthy team as winner.

                  Hopefully the fact that they are not a US company will shield them somewhat.

                      That's blatantly not true, take the recent IBS V Illumina case as an example.

                      Ever heard of David V Goliath?

                          While it is likely that this is Illumina's tactic to stall or distract ONT, WashU being one of plaintiffs does give this claim a little bit of credibility.

                              I thought discrimination was not tolerated on this site!?

                                  16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
                                  by SEQadmin2




                                  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, detection...

                                  Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
                                  by SEQadmin2



                                  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                                  ...
