New Products: Clontech's SMARTer RNA-seq; BioNano Genomics' IrysChip V2; More

Premium

Clontech Laboratories has launched its SMARTer Stranded RNA-seq kit for strand-specific RNA-seq from low-input samples. The kit integrates Illumina library preparation with the SMART cDNA amplification to create indexed libraries in less than four hours, according to the company.


BioNano Genomics has launched IrysChip V2, a high-throughput chip for its Irys system that now supports human genome analysis. The new chip provides a 15-fold increase in throughput over the previous version.


BioDatomics launched BioDT, an open source suite of next-generation sequencing data analysis software and services. It includes access to more than 400 analysis tools, a graphic layout for customized visualization, and genome browsing tools. Additionally, it has full integration with R, Bioconductor, MATLAB, and Galaxy and is compatible with all next-gen sequencing systems.

The Scan

Study Examines Insights Gained by Adjunct Trio RNA Sequencing in Complex Pediatric Disease Cases

Researchers in AJHG explore the diagnostic utility of adding parent-child RNA-seq to genome sequencing in dozens of families with complex, undiagnosed genetic disease.

Clinical Genomic Lab Survey Looks at Workforce Needs

Investigators use a survey approach in Genetics in Medicine Open to assess technologist applications, retention, and workforce gaps at molecular genetics and clinical cytogenetics labs in the US.

Study Considers Gene Regulatory Features Available by Sequence-Based Modeling

Investigators in Genome Biology set sequence-based models against observational and perturbation assay data, finding distal enhancer models lag behind promoter predictions.

Genetic Testing Approach Explores Origins of Blastocyst Aneuploidy

Investigators in AJHG distinguish between aneuploidy events related to meiotic missegregation in haploid cells and those involving post-zygotic mitotic errors and mosaicism.
