Is there any documentation about ECC?

Any ideas on real release dates for the 5500XL (solid 4hq) ? Has anyone got one yet ?
"Initial shipments of the 5500xl are planned for December 2010."
Oh that was from the press release at

Rumours I have heard is march 2010. Not sure what's the hold up.Comment

There may be 5500xls in the field, if only as test units. That would fulfill the "initial shipments" claim.

Yes, release date is March/2011. Does anybody know the new output format? I believe it is called XSV or something like this..Comment

I believe it is called HDF, which is a standardized file format (single file replaces csfasta, qual, and spch files).Originally posted by Enrico Palazzo View PostComment

At the Sequencing at the Tipping Point Conference, back in December, they were saying the new file format would be .xqs (or maybe it was .xsq?)
Its a binary file format, with one file per lane. This is supposed to be why theres no need for a cluster under the machine, its like 60% smaller.Comment

Sorry, just remind me. It is called .xsq (eXtensible SeQuence)Comment

I think the reason for not having a minicluster is the use of FPGAs along with a very powerful machine (like illumina). Anyone has more info about that? I guess we'll find out at AGBT.-drdComment

Yes, I have ".xsq" in my notes as the new format name. They were going to be about 30 gigabytes per lane. 12 lanes per "flow chip".

By the way, looks like Life Tech has a free webinar on this very topic soon:Originally posted by Enrico Palazzo View Post
or, specifically,
Looks like you need a phone and a computer to join. And pre-registration appears to be necessary.

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
