Genohub, announced today the release of a full end-to-end solution for NGS data management. Having already changed the way NGS services are traditionally found and ordered, Genohub has set its sights on NGS data storage and transfer, a well known ...
Read More »Je – a suite of tools that accommodates complex barcoding strategies including unique molecular identifiers (UMIs)
The yield obtained from next generation sequencers has increased almost exponentially in recent years, making sample multiplexing common practice. While barcodes (known sequences of fixed length) primarily encode the sample identity of sequenced DNA fragments, barcodes made of random sequences ...
