Premium

TORONTO--The Bioinform-atics Supercomputing Centre at the Hospital for Sick Children here has installed a Silicon Graphics Origin 2000 supercomputer to assist in the analysis of genetic data. Jamie Cuticchia, head of the hospital's bioinformatics program, said the machine, with 64 MIPS processors and 16 gigabytes of memory, will be used initially for research in two key areas: searching for similarities in gene sequences and developing three-dimensional models of human proteins, the products of genes.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Sponsored by
Roche

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.
