Next-generation sequencing, demystified

Solving complex biological questions using next-generation sequencing (NGS) shouldn’t require magical powers. You just want to know what variants are present so you can focus on the biological implications of that change.

Ion Torrent™ products offer rapid, simple, and cost-effective NGS solutions, to help you find meaningful variants in your research and understand their potential implications. You’ll stay focused on your project and avoid the bottlenecks of data analysis. Maybe there’s a little magic to it after all.

Navigate to your character:

     

SampleSorcerers advance cancer research with the ability to finally get meaningful results from archived and degraded samples.
Bioinfomagicians analyze NGS data so much easier by finding the biological meaning of variants quicker than ever with pushbutton workflows.
Next-generation sequencing is easier for SeqWizards who get more information, more cost-effectively, using simple streamlined workflows.
The power to design and run gene research panels quickly and simply enables GeneGenies to get to the variants that matter faster.

SampleSorcerers

 

Do you need to understand the molecular mechanisms of gene transcription and regulation in your disease research?

We can help you obtain gene level expression for RefSeq transcripts from as little as 10 ng FFPE RNA, design a custom panel to profile a select set of transcripts, detect the gene fusions in lung FFPE samples, and identify known and novel transcripts including gene fusions and alternatively spliced isoforms.

The Ion Proton™ System helps reduce the high cost and complexity of high-throughput sequencing, making it more available to your lab for your specific research needs. The system has been designed with affordability in mind. Combining semiconductor sequencing technology with biochemistry to directly translate chemical information into digital data minimizes the need for expensive optics and complex sequencing chemistries, resulting in a sequencing system that is highly-affordable to own and operate.
