    Comparison of NGS technologies

    Hi All

    This is my first post!

    I am trying to get my head around the various RNA-sequencing platforms so I thought of doing a comprehensive comparison of existing technologies. Do you know whether this has been done recently (last year)?

    Could you help me collect the relevant variables for these comparisons? Some of these variables from the top of my head would be:

    - Depth
    - Read per run
    - Accuracy (single read not consensus)
    - Minimum starting material requirements
    - Read length
    - Amplification steps involved
    - Multiplexity
    - Fixed costs
    - Running costs (Cost per 1 million bases)
    - Sensitivity/Limit of detection


    Maybe we could make a nice matrix with all these variables/criteria as columns and different technologies as rows to have a nice comparison matrix.

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
