Next generation sequencing (NGS), high-throughput sequencing, or massively parallel sequencing are related terms that describe the DNA sequencing technology which has revolutionized the biological research. Characterized by ultra-high throughput, scalability, and speed, NGS enables researchers to sequence a human genome within a single day, which Sanger sequencing took over a decade to accomplish the final […]
Illumina, established in 1998 in San Diego, CA, is a leading company in the field of sequencing. In 2006, Illumina acquired Solexa, got the next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology and developed it into a mainstream technology on the market. It currently provides sequencing systems such as MiSeq, HiSeq 2500, HiSeq 3000, HiSeq 4000, HiSeq X Ten, […]
As a new technology of sequencing, the biggest advantage of nanopore is its low cost. Compared to other sequencing technology, such as sanger sequencing and next generation sequencing, the nanopore sequencing does not need any fluorescein for purification, and the process of DNA amplification is also unnecessary. It can save both money and time. Besides, […]
Sequencing technology has experienced a very long time, the next generation sequencing (NGS) radically change the way the human genomes are sequenced.IQ4I Research & Consultancy analysis suggests that global NGS market is expected to reach $4.892 billion by 2020 at a CAGR (a compound annual growth rate) of 20.7%. Among the global NGS market, instruments […]
The transcriptome is the set of all RNA molecules, including mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, as well as other non-coding RNA produced in one or a population of cells. It is different from the exome because it includes only those RNA molecules found in a specified cell population, and usually includes the amount or concentration of each […]
