New line of benchtop next-generation sequencing (NGS) instruments provides unmatched flexibility and scalability

With next generation sequencing changing the whole clinical world including test validation, diagnostic labs need and benefit from the interdisciplinary expertise of industry leaders

Allows the most comprehensive validation of oncology gene panels and large-scale exome sequencing assays

The Institute is also the site of Germany’s largest tissue biobank, featuring a sophisticated laboratory information management system that has incorporated Thermo Fisher’s Ion Torrent bioinformatics software

Scientists have only recently come to understand the contributions of microbiomes to human health and illness.

J. Christopher Love, PhD, associate professor in chemical engineering at MIT, and Maroof Adil, PhD, postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, talk to contributing editor Tanuja Koppal, PhD, about advances in single-cell sequencing.

Research team has discovered that the egg and sperm genomes that co-exist in the single-cell embryo or zygote have a unique structure compared to other interphase cells

Researchers have shown how the community of bacteria present in the soil of land that had been cleared and grazed for 100 years was returned to its natural state just eight years after revegetation with native plants

DNA sequencing keeps getting faster and covering more bases, and today’s fastest approach is  massively parallel sequencing (MPS)—also known as next-generation sequencing.
