As someone who has never used the solid system I'd like to know if you get the raw image files of the sequencing or positional information of the sequence. Also the beads are attached to the glass right

I suppose your service provider could give you the raw images. We don't keep them ourselves (they are large!) but I suspect that if you were doing sequencing with us and if you were able to grab the images off of the machine within a couple of days of your run completion before we erase them in order to get ready for the next run, I don't see why you couldn't have them. I doubt if they would do you much good though. Glass, beads, attached ... yes.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
