Raising the standard in sequencing
Continued improvements to the Genome Sequencer FLX System454 Sequencing, the standard for quality and performance in next-generation sequencing, is setting the bar even higher with upcoming enhancements to the GS FLX Titanium Series. 454 Life Sciences is committed to providing the highest quality and most affordable sequencing solutions to solve a wide range of life science problems. We believe sequencing is about more than just data, its about biologically meaningful results.
What can you do with 1000 base reads?
- Continuous development of the robust 454 Sequencing platform will enable the Genome Sequencer FLX Titanium chemistry to make the next leap in read length, breaking the 500 base pair mark and approaching 1000 bases.
- Even longer single reads will sequence through more repeat regions, co-locate more exons and link more associated variants, opening the full spectrum of structural variation analysis and significantly improve de novo sequencing, transcriptomics, metagenomics and resequencing applications.
- Combine super long single reads with our unique 20kb, 8kb, 3kb paired end reads to generate high-quality draft assemblies with more complete genome coverage.
