2015 has been a long ride, but a ride none the less for us all. As I started to\u00a0look back on this year, back towards last December, I couldn’t help but think about the 2014 Sequencing moments that mattered video<\/a>, which gave us sequencing highlights from 2014 and helped us kick off 2015.<\/p>\n

\"ce1\"<\/a>This year we explored\u00a0technical topics that covered the basics of Digital PCR<\/a>\u00a0and a series of blogs that highlighted all aspects of\u00a0Sanger sequencing by Capillary Electrophoresis<\/a>, helping answer some questions that we may all encounter, including fragment analysis<\/a>, 27-plex PCR<\/a>, and of course data analysis<\/a>!\u00a0Check out the links above if you want to learn more, or click here<\/a> if you would like to learn about the Sanger DNA sequencing workflow.<\/p>\n

\"QS3\"<\/a>But don’t worry we didn’t forget real-time PCR! With the launch<\/a> of the QuantStudio\u2122 3 and 5 Real-Time PCR instruments<\/a> we took you behind the scenes for an exclusive chat<\/a> with\u00a0Roland Tan and Levente Egry, both Senior Product Managers\u00a0that\u00a0have been heavily involved in the development of the QuantStudio\u2122 3 and 5 Real-Time PCR instrument since its inception.<\/p>\n

\"2series\"You had questions and we were there to help. Since premiering in June 2012, over the years we’ve\u00a0seen\u00a0how much you liked our\u00a0Ask TaqMan video series<\/a>, so\u00a0this year the SeqIt Out video series<\/a> made it’s debut to help answer\u00a0all questions about sequencing. Did you know these\u00a0videos were based on real-world questions sent in by viewers.\u00a0Click here<\/a> to find out what differentiates Ask Taqman from SeqItOut.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a>With real world events shaking up our lives like the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone<\/a>, West Africa or the BlueTongue Virus Outbreak<\/a> in France, Thermo Fisher Scientific was there providing solutions to help scientists tackle these deadly diseases. We also caught up with the Million Veteran Progam<\/a> (MVP),\u00a0which has already enrolled more than\u00a0420,000 participants with projections of reaching 1,000,000 by 2018. Such a large integrated study has the ability to give us detailed insights that may bring us one step closer to solving the many mysteries of various diseases that not only affect Veterans, but us all.<\/p>\n

Finally as we bid 2015 adieu and prepare to welcome 2016, we want to be a tad bit nostalgic and share this video with you, which highlights 10\u00a0Sequencing moments that mattered in 2015<\/a>.\u00a0Until next year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
