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 It's been superseded - either on price or performance or both.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

      Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
      by seqadmin


      At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

      How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
      by seqadmin



      Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
