Congrats ECO,
1000 members is a huge milestone - thanks for giving us this fantastic forum!
(I enjoyed the stats tremendously, too!)

Hi, no people from Helicos here yet? I guess they should be regarded as a major player if Danaher is...Leave a comment:

Another interesting piece of info on the instrument ownership. I did not break it down further into users that have multiple instruments.

SEQanswers Registers 1000th member! Traffic/posts continue to grow!
SEQanswers has marked a major milestone this morning, with the registration of it's 1000th member, in just over 10 months of existence.
Membership and activity have continued to grow rapidly, totally outstripping my expectations. I had some fun looking at some statistics from the database and Google Analytics this morning, and I thought I would share.
From the above graph, the rate of new registrations continues to climb. In the month of August to date, over 160 new members have registered.
Currently, the community represents 104 .edu institutions, 90 countries, and many companies. In total, overall 427 unique domains.
Additionally, we have members from all the major players in the next gen sequencing arena, current instrument providers (ABI, Illumina, Roche, Danaher), informatics support companies, reagent companies, not to mention a few reporters.
Daily traffic continues to grow as well...showing that most visits happen during the workweek.
Posting activity has grown correspondingly:
Clearly, the most popular thread is sci_guy's epic post Software packages for next gen sequence analysis, which has recieved nearly 10,000 views. The Bioinformatics forum is also the most active.
Anyway, that's a peek at the community, I'm very excited to see it continue to grow, and as always please feel free to post your suggestions for new features or improvements in the Site Feedback forum

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
