NanoString Technologies Integrated Informatics Workflow

NanoString Technologies has launched a new integrated informatics workflow that improves the spatial data analysis experience of customers using Illumina NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 sequencing systems and the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler. According to the company, the cloud-based workflow allows GeoMx users to plan their NextSeq 1000 or 2000 sequencing runs using software on the GeoMx instrument and is coupled to automated downstream data processing using Dragen Bio-IT, Illumina's platform for secondary data analysis. Upon completion of sequence processing, the spatially resolved digital counts of RNA or protein are ported directly to the GeoMx system, allowing researchers to interact, visualize, and analyze their multiomic data.
