ABCs of ATCGs

摘要

Whether for validation, comparison or diagnostics, DNA sequencing is fundamental to molecular biology. Tools now bring sequences to your lab quickly and conveniently. Now your lab can produce over 20 million nucleotide bases in a single five-hour run with the Genome Sequencer 20 System from 454 Life Sciences and Roche Applied Science. With 454 Life Sciences patented PicoTiterPlate™ and light emitting sequencing chemistries, your lab can increase your sequencing capacity over 100 fold. Applications include either whole genome de novo sequencing or resequencing of bacteria and fungi, metagenomics, microRNA, ditags, cDNA, and BACs. To increase affordability, 454 Life Sciences and Roche also offer sequencing on a service-based fee.
