Next Generation Sequencer Applications • DeNovo Sequencing • Resequencing, Comparative Genomics • Global SNP Analysis • Gene Expression Analysis • Methylation Studies • ChIP Sequencing-transcription factors, histones, polymerases • Transcriptome Analysis-splicing, UTRs, cSNPs, nested transcripts • MicroRNA Discovery and quantitation • Metagenomics, Microbial diversity • Copy number variation • Chromosomal aberrations • Gene regulation studies
How many sequence tags* do I need for my gene expression application? • SAGE/CAGE – 2-5 million mappable • miRNA – 10 million mappable • ChIP Seq—10-20 million mappable • Whole Transcriptome from polyA RNA – 40-50 million mappable • Whole Transcriptome from rRNA depleted - >50 million mappable • Whole Transcriptome for Allele Specific Expression - >>50 million mappable SOLiD™ 4 generates >1.4 billion mappable sequences/run (2 slides) Libraries can be multiplexed to decrease the cost/sample according to the application and number of sequences needed. *For human/mouse sized genomes; smaller organisms require fewer sequence tags.
