Next-Generation Sequencing – News and Features

The Nijmegen Centre for Molecular Life Sciences (NCMLS) installed a Genomatix Genome Analyzer (GGA). The GGA delivers a complete and integrated solution for the downstream analysis of NGS data. Rich biological background data enable a molecular level understanding of the biology being studied within a few hours, significantly shortening the time to publication. NCMLS feedback will contribute in helping to define the direction of further developments of technology at Genomatix.

Howard researchers used high-throughput DNA sequencing technology to identify a gene mutation that was responsible for the patient’s disease.
