There's a company in San Diego called Azco Biotech acting as sales representative for Dover. I've read that the Broad has one, although they say that it's not in use for production sequencing. Is this well-intended system still commercially viable? Does anyone want one? It would seem that technology has moved on (e.g., Ion Torrent).

Rubenken: Thanks for posting. The Polonator is still commercially available, but despite its low upfront and recurring cost, its throughput has lagged behind that of the two major players. That said, we have not been idle, but have had our heads down working to substantially increase its performance. We will shortly be providing an update on our progress, but I expect that we will do that via Julia Karow of In Sequence. Stay tuned.

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
