Automation solution for genome sequencer

genome sequencer

A robotic accessory module for liquid handling systems, the new REM e system enables complete automation of emPCR enrichment in the GS FLX Titanium workflow. This has dramatically simplified the sequencing workflow by replacing five hours of dedicated manual lab work with an automated walk-away procedure. The module can be readily integrated into most commonly available liquid handling platforms, providing a cost-effective solution to increase sequencing productivity and consistency. The new automation solution represents one of a series of recent improvements to streamline the sequencing system’s end-to-end workflow, from sample preparation to data analysis. In addition, a number of recent upgrades to the 454 Sequencing data analysis software suite offer significant ease-of use improvements, which are especially beneficial to biologists without extensive bioinformatics expertise. These upgrades include near “push-button” de novo assembly of small to medium sized genomes, straightforward de novo transcriptome assembly with splice variant detection, and the power to assemble human-sized genomes.
