    I think ECO can probably comment on this better. All I know is once you go to single molecule world, any impurity can kill the sequencing mechanism / basecalling accuracy easily. Any "single molecule" impurities including any ion that one does not anticipate during engineering phase is the enemy, so, good luck for the "no sample preparation" claim. (Not saying it can not be simple, but sequencing DNA in blood with zero sample-prep to get high throughput results? one can judge that with common sense...)

      The grand scheme of things of for-profit sector is targeted resequencing for diagnostic. The only thing ONT are proposing that could be useful to them is the no sample prep at all. And I am having a hard time believing that.

      While a $100 disposable cartridge would be nice too, especially to forensic and DTC providers, a Q14 isn't useful for any of them.

      I agree with other people prediction that ONT will be the next PacBio. It's noble to claim that they will delay their launch until they get Q30, but they need investors, and the current ones will eventually want to cash in. PacBio was able to hype and overhype for 5 years. How much longer is it going to be for ONT?

        Just a quick reminder of some facts. For ONT to be next PacBio, at least they need to show some data and publish papers in NEJM from sample to print within weeks, not once, but twice. And, they will also need to publish DNA sequencing data/DNA modification data in Nature / Nature Biotech to show important biological results that can not be resolved by 2nd gen. sequencing / Sanger sequencing, etc. (Not just nucleotide identification. DNA sequencing is not about identifying bases/short segments. DNA sequencing should be about efficiently linking long range information...) Commercially successfully or not, the publications and real data already help to reveal some new biology. Until nanopore is no longer nanovapor, there is no fair comparison.

            Not really; I'd love to be able to quickly map out cancer genome rearrangements and a 4% error rate wouldn't bother me for that purpose.

            I wonder what updates will come out next week at AGBT...

              AFAIK, nothing..... no data, no status update, not even a cool USB sequencer full with data found in a bar

                What? You weren't out on the strand digging through sand like a madman?

                    I should have been stalking the bar, apparently.

                        “We didn’t even know that long reads were so important to people until after that AGBT presentation.”
                        Really? I find that hard to believe.

                          Waaaaaa we made promises we couldn't keep to get attention and funding...and now people expect us to keep them!

                          <tiny violin playing>

                          Seriously though, having been through the bring up of a single molecule sequencer...if the CTO is opining in a bar to a blogger about improving consensus accuracy by throwing in multiple types of pores...they are a LONG way from finalizing a chemistry, let alone stabilizing and commercializing it.

                          Happy to eat words. Actually I love having my pessimism proven wrong.

                          And I hope I'm not off Clive's list. I could do some long range clinical haplotyping pretty easily!

                            Perhaps not before this post.

                            But now you can't be sure

                              Just to note I added a clarification from Clive at the bottom of the post on that particular point...

                              Given that they are continuously screening new and better pores and that is in fact one of the cool things about a biological nanopore (just like other sequencing companies regularly screen for new polymerases), I didn't necessarily see that as reflective of where they are in the product development pipeline.

                                No argument there.

                                We all hope they will stop the screening at some point and release the first product we can use.

                                  Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
                                  by seqadmin



                                  Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

                                  Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
                                  by seqadmin




                                  Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
