P3 chip has been in the cards for eternity. Just look at the seminal article talking about die sizes and feature counts. 1.2B features was named year(s) ago.
As for Avalanche, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Wildfire on Ion. I'd be interested to know if it is still bead-based, however.
Ion Chef - if you have been on the community, you've seen some cool videos of people automating chip loading. It's just an expansion of what's already out there.

Wow, if the PIII chip really can deliver 256Gb of sequence data with 'just minutes of hands on time' it will be serious competition for the HiSeq. But since we haven't even seen the PII chip yet I wonder how much of that is just speculative hype to ramp up early sales...
I think my lab is getting a proton so I hope they can deliver.Leave a comment:

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...Today, 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
