Going to 300, or going to 2x150? The two aren't the same thing.
But yes, 2x150bp with an overlap gives excellent results. In fact with an insert size of 450bp I've seen the Illumina give better assemblies than 454 can manage.
The cost differential is so large, even if 454 can give better results, many users of our service aren't opting to pay the difference. -
Ah, as soon as we get and figure out how to squeeze MiSeq I'd like to try PE 250 on 400bp fragments. 5-10M reads.

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...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
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
