Flash Report: Exome sequencing using the Ion Proton™ System

In a recent Product Bulletin Life Technologies presents some preliminary Exome Sequencing data generated using the novel Ion Proton platform and the Ion PI™ Chip.
The table below summarizes the results obtained.


Interestingly, at the recent at World 2012 customer conference (13 Sept) Rothberg announced that "Life Technologies has developed Avalanche™, a revolutionary 30-minute emulsion-free template preparation chemistry that will work on all Ion platforms. Dr. Rothberg also announced that Avalanche™ will enable an Ion PIII™ Chip for the Proton, with more than 1.2 billion sensors that will take researchers beyond the $1,000 genome".
