New PacBio system: Sequel
Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.comTags: None

It isn't exactly the 'desktop' system we were waiting for, but it looks like they made some pretty big improvements in a number of areas. I'd be a little bummed if I had just bought an RSII.

We have 3 RSII's, and have not had any particular problems with their reliability. Perhaps you got a lemon?
For our uses, this is pretty revolutionary - we could replace our 3 RSII's with one of these (they take up lot of space) and double our throughput while drastically reducing the per-base cost.

It does feel like we have a lemon.
It is possible that JGI has better control over samples/libraries. Do you only run internal samples? Being a core facility we get stuff all over the place and it has been impossible to get consistent P1 productivity. PacBio seems to have very narrow tolerances (compared to Illumina) on what makes a library good/productive.

For de novo work especially this is very appealing. For a small facility though I would worry that a large investment could be nullified by MinION/PromethION. That's always true of any technology, but the risks seem higher here.Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com

PacBio is an innovative company and in recent years they have released new chemistry almost every year which has increased sequencing yield and length. I can’t say that about Oxford Nanopore and in fact they have been very slow to develop a product that works. With current pricing they are the most expensive platform for Gb of data. Their celebrity style marketing and promotion also suggests that they may not have much to offer in near future and they are just trying to stall competition. With recent trends that even companies obsolete their own systems after a year why should one wait for ONT?

$700/chip (including sequencing reagents) for ~7Gb of output (5-10Gb)
Read length at launch will be 8-12kb (and then increase over time).
I'm not sure if they said anything about accuracy.

They said the chemistry is identical to the RSII - basically it is a bigger SMRT-cell and optimized camera and computing at the moment. Other than the read numbers the specs are likely unchanged.
For bacterial sequencing the RSII might be preferable under some circumstances, since it already generates surplus data and running a SMRT-cell on the Sequel will likely cost twice as much.

A great MinION run will currently put out about 1Gbp of sequence, but that will change substantially after fast mode kicks in (about 20x sequencing speed). I wonder how flexible PacBio are with their pricing for the chip and reagents.

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...-
