It weighs a ton and takes up half a room. Why? Any engineers here that knows what's going on inside?

among other things, laser & optics, filter, cooling for the reagents and the entire interior, a liquid handling robot, an overengineered air table that runs on nitrogen - which was not really needed. -

I look at the RSII and a ONT minion and they (skipping some details) pretty much do the same thing (produce long reads). Yet the one requires concrete reinforced floors and the other can be held in your hand. Just find it astounding the difference in scale.Comment

One of them is an optical platform doing laser based detection of nanometre scale wells, and the other ... isn't.

While isolating and preparing single cells for sequencing was historically the bottleneck, recent technological advancements have shifted the challenge to data analysis. This highlights the rapidly evolving nature of single-cell sequencing. The inherent complexity of single-cell analysis has intensified with the surge in data volume and the incorporation of diverse and more complex datasets. This article explores the challenges in analysis, examines common pitfalls, offers...Today, 07:15 AM -
