    Different NextGen platforms sharing the same space

    Our group has a 454 sequencer with the workflow split over two rooms Lab 1) Library prep and emPCR set-up Lab 2) emulsion breaking, enrichment and sequencing (sequencer is also in lab 2).

    My question is, if we buy an Illumina or Solid will it be able to fit in alongside the 454 set-up we already have. I've got the chance to move our operations to a bigger lab and I want to try and do some future proofing, so if anyone can offer some advice on how their 454 works alongside other platforms and what considerations I may have to bear in mind it would be much appreciated.

    I have visited a lab where all 3 instruments share the same single large room. I guess the chemistry part was performed in various other rooms, just like any PCR setup. Illumina Cluster stations were in the same room too.

      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      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
