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

    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 It's been superseded - either on price or performance or both.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:

    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

      Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
      by seqadmin



      Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

      Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
      by seqadmin




      Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
