SOLiD DNA sequences are typically analyzed using a reference genome, while they are not recommended for de novo assembly of genomes or transcriptomes. This is mainly due to the difficulty in translating the SOLiD color-space data into normal base-space sequences. ...

The collborators at the SEQC/MAQC-III Consortium present primary results from the Sequencing Quality Control (SEQC) project, coordinated by the US Food and Drug Administration. Examining Illumina HiSeq, Life Technologies SOLiD and Roche 454 platforms at multiple laboratory sites using reference ...

Writing in Science, Lee et al. report an exciting first step toward combining some of the best aspects of both methods to sequence RNA in single cells in situ. Their approach, called fluorescence in situ RNA sequencing (FISSEQ), effectively treats ...
