Been years since I commuted to work. Off to the @cancerbioinfoau.bsky.social conference today in Brisbane. Still working out what #ConferneceSwag we will have #illumina #bioinformatics #DRAGEN
For sequencing nerds and all those downstream/upstream of that some head-to-head comparison data relayed by Illumina. Source: www.illumina.com/science/geno...
Illumina outperforms Complete Genomics/MGI in a head-to-head whole-genome sequencing (WGS) comparison
A head-to-head comparison evaluated WGS using the MGI DNBSEQ-T7 sequencing platform with MegaBOLT v2.4.0 software against the NovaSeq X Series with DRAGEN v4.4 software.
