[This article was originally posted on SanDiegOmics.com] Every so often someone will ask about the various “generations” of DNA sequencing or a company will claim to have the latest generation – 3rd, 4th, even “last”. (Hey, Genia, if you don’t come out with something soon, I’m going to start calling your platform “late” generation sequencing […]
iGenomX – building a better sequencing library mousetrap
AllSeq got a sneak peek at the latest sequencing library construction technology from iGenomX yesterday. The company, which was spun out of The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, CA, is based on the work out of Dr. Daniel Salomon’s lab, where he continues to lead the R&D efforts. By eliminating most enzymatic and handling steps, […]
AGBT 16 Blog of Blogs
We didn’t make it out to Florida this year for AGBT, so we’re very happy to see all of the active tweeting and blogging. There are so many blogs, in fact, that we decided to collect them all here to make it more convenient for binge reading. (It looks like they started to do this […]

AllSeq is proud to be a media partner for SelectBio’s upcoming “Next Generation Sequencing & Single Cell Analysis” conference that will be right here in San Diego on September 28th-30th. One of the benefits (in addition to the 15% discount we were able to negotiate for our readers) was the opportunity to interview a few […]
These Aren’t the Sequencers You’re Looking For
While everyone was waiting for them to come out with the long delayed Ion PII chip, Thermo Fisher decided to instead come out with an all new sequencing platform. And there’s a good chance it’s not the sequencer you’ve been waiting for. And that’s ok with Thermo because you’re probably not the customer they had […]
The Other ‘Liquid’ in Liquid Biopsies
We recently had a chance to interview one of the speakers at GTCbio’s upcoming Molecular Diagnostics Summit 2015. Dr. Mark Erlander, Chief Science Officer of Trovagene, will be giving a presentation entitled “Quantitating ctDNA Mutations from Patient Urine as an Early Pharmacodynamic Biomarker for Response to Targeted Therapy”. We caught up with him recently to […]
PMWC Interview Series – Leroy Hood
In part three of our three-part ‘Personalized Medicine World Conference’ interview series we talked with Dr. Leroy Hood about his exciting ‘100K Wellness’ project and how it will transform the healthcare industry. Dr. Hood’s research has focused on fundamental biology (immunity, evolution, genomics) and on bringing engineering to biology through the development of five instruments; […]
PMWC Interview Series – Michael Snyder
In part two of our three part ‘Personalized Medicine World Conference’ interview series we talked with Dr. Michael Snyder about his thoughts on the role that next generation sequencing is playing in personalized medicine. Dr. Snyder is the Stanford Ascherman Professor and Chair of Genetics and the Director of the Center of Genomics and Personalized […]

As a part of this partnership, we’ve been invited to interview three of the thought leaders that will be speaking at this event: Cliff Reid – CEO, Complete Genomics; Michael Snyder – Professor & Chair, Stanford Center for Genomics & Personalized Medicine; […]
MinION and PromethION, Oxford Nanopore’s Present and Future
Since the start of Oxford Nanopore’s MinION early access program (MAP) in June this year, the research community (at least those of us not lucky enough to be part of the program) have been waiting to see the first results. Would this handheld sequencer marvel actually work? What kind of data would it produce? What […]
