I am a scientist working on 3rd gen nanopore sequencing technology. I work on mostly the upstream biochemistry, but as of late I have been dealing with novel technologies, instrumentation, and IP as well. Right now I am working on assembling metrics on both 2nd gen and 3rd gen sequencing to see that task ahead. With these emerging technologies it is amazing to see how much out there is just smoke and mirrors. This site is great for looking behind the curtain. Hopefully more "truthiness" and sharing that this site fosters will help this industry mature to a point where true advancements can be made for the people not the pockets.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Yesterday, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
