Keith has another relevant and interesting take on things...

Seems serious enough. If people really wanted to get involved I am sure they would contact Life Tech for the actual details. That's a lot of commentary just because the rules are not posted on a public website. -
No, you won't get further by asking -- I've registered interest in the contest & had no further information sent. Perhaps, as one commenter supposed, the details will come out later this month, but for anyone seriously considering jumping in that gap is a deterrent.Originally posted by SeqAA View Post
It's also a contrast with other such contests, such as the Archon X-Prize in genomics or Google X-prize for the moon, where the specifications are posted in public both to generate serious interest as well as to invite a lot of commentary. Indeed, I believe what I pointed out just scratches the surface of what will be required to really drive interest in the contest, and posting the rules in public would help flush out the missing pieces early (which is indeed the approach Google is taking).
Crowd-sourcing the crowd-sourcing contest design isn't really a very bad idea!Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
