Greetings from Albuquerque, NM. My name is Triston and I just graduated with a BS in Statistics, but I'm currently working at the Biostatistics/Epidemiology Department at the local university. We just recently purchased and began working in NGS via an Ion Torrent Proton sequencer and I've been lurking on this forum for a bit now (which is awesome, btw), trying to make sense of the myriad file formats and analytic techniques floating about. Just thought I'd introduce myself here before posting a question or two in the near future. Cheers!

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...10-14-2026, 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...
