{Discussion}Roche stop supporting the 454 platform by mid-2016

07-09-2014, 02:51 PM

Hi, I am a graduate student and I have just heard Roche stop supporting the 454 pyrosequencing platform by 2016. Our university has to buy another Next-gen sequencing platform.

I was surprised. Does anyone know what happened? Two year ago, I think 454 pyrosequencing occupied >50% market. I don't think this is about business. Also, lots of publications use pyrosequencing

Are they gonna develop new sequencing technologies? Is pyrosequencing a technological dead end? Is Illumina a good choice?

Why is any technology killed off? It's been superseded - either on price or performance or both.

According to Genomeweb, Illumina had 66% of the market in 2012:

In Sequence Survey: Illumina Holds Two-Thirds of Sequencing Market, Splits Desktop Share with Ion PGM

http://www.genomeweb.com/sequencing/sequence-survey-illumina-holds-two-thirds-sequencing-market-splits-desktop-share

Illumina currently holds around 66 percent of the total sequencing market, but the company's share of the desktop market is split evenly with Life Technologies' Ion Torrent PGM, according to a recent survey of 150 In Sequence readers.

Roche's share was 8% at this point.

I think you may have been a bit misled on their market penetration post PGM and post-MiSeq

QC, Alignment, and Mapping: Recommended Tools for Next-Level Sequencing Analysis

by seqadmin

With new tools and computational resources being released regularly, it can be hard to determine which are best suited for the analysis process and which older tools continue to be maintained. In an effort to assist the sequencing community, we interviewed three highly skilled bioinformaticians about their recommended tools for several important analysis applications.

Quality control and preprocessing tools
