  • Announcing Complete Genomics Cancer Grant Program

    As the use of DNA sequencing data in cancer research has become widespread, significant progress is being made with respect to characterization of a variety of cancers. As we learn more about the mechanisms of these diseases, we can improve the way we diagnose and treat cancer patients. We are seeing more and more examples every day, where sequencing is being used as a vital element of cancer research. Complete Genomics is committed to supporting and further enabling cancer research using our complete genome sequencing platform through close collaboration with and support of the scientific community.

    We are pleased to announce our Cancer Grant Program whereby we will reward innovative and unique project proposals in the area of Cancer research. This is an opportunity for any researcher to compete to win complete human genome sequencing of four tumor/normal pairs (8 samples in total) at no charge.

    Here is how the program will work. Any eligible researchers should complete the program application, including an abstract, and submit this to Complete Genomics by midnight PDT, on July 29th, 2011. The application will be judged by a two-step process by Complete Genomics Commercial and Scientific leaders.

    We will select and announce two winners each from North America and Europe, for a total of 4 winners.

    For more information on this program and to submit an application please go to the web page for this program on Complete Genomics website at this link:

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
