Next Generation Sequencing for Life Science R&D: Advancing to the $1,000 Genome

This report examines the emerging, fast-growing worldwide market for next-generation genome sequencing systems and services. The makers of the new sequencing systems are competing in the race to drive down the cost of sequencing a human genome to $1,000 or less. At that cost, life scientists will be able sequence human genomes at the massive scale needed to better understand human variation and help open the gateway to personalized medicine.

Roche's 454 Sequencing System Used to Determine the Complete Neanderthal Mitochondrial Genome, Establishing When Humans and Neanderthals Diverged

BRANFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 8, 2008 - Researchers led by the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany have published the complete Neanderthal mitochondrial genome sequence. The mitochondrial genome was generated using the 454 Sequencing technology to 35-fold redundancy, facilitating a detailed comparison against known human mitochondrial genomes and an analysis of recent human evolution. The study, entitled "A complete Neanderthal mitochondrial genome sequence determined by high-throughput sequencing" appears today in the journal Cell.

US Department Of Energy Joint Genome Institute Announces New Genome Sequencing Projects

Walnut Creek, CA - In the continuing effort to tap the vast, unexplored reaches of the earth's microbial and plant domains for bioenergy and environmental applications, the DOE Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) has announced its latest portfolio of DNA sequencing projects that it will undertake in the coming year. The 44 projects, culled from nearly 150 proposals received through the Community Sequencing Program (CSP), represent over 60 billion nucleotides of data to be generated through this biodiversity sampling campaign—roughly the equivalent of 20 human genomes.

Inside Intel's Core i7 Processor, Nehalem

MojoKid writes "Intel's next-generation CPU microarchitecture, which was recently given the official processor family name of 'Core i7,' was one of the big topics of discussion at IDF. Intel claims that Nehalem represents its biggest platform architecture change to date. This might be true, but it is not a from-the-ground-up, completely new architecture either. Intel representatives disclosed that Nehalem 'shares a significant portion of the P6 gene pool,' does not include many new instructions, and has approximately the same length pipeline as Penryn. Nehalem is built upon Penryn, but with significant architectural changes (full webcast) to improve performance and power efficiency. Nehalem also brings Hyper-Threading back to Intel processors, and while Hyper-Threading has been criticized in the past as being energy inefficient, Intel cla

Me and my genome

BACK in 2002, before the $3 billion Human Genome Project was even complete, some biologists began to talk of sequencing the entire genome of any individual for just $1000. While DNA sequencing is getting ever cheaper and faster, we are not quite there yet: about a tenth of the human genome remains impossible to sequence with existing methods.

Intel Buys Mobile Linux Startup Openedhand; All eyes now on Microsoft

Intel, The hardware partner of the the famed and feared Wintel alliance, has acquired Opened hand, a UK based mobile Linux developer which will now be joining Intel's Open Source Technology Center and help Intel focus on the development of Moblin, Intel's Linux Stack for its popular Atom Processor range.

Intel Introduces First IA System on Chip for Consumer Electronics.

At the Intel Developer Forum, Intel Corporation introduced the Intel Media Processor CE 3100, the first in a new family of purpose-built System on Chips (SoCs) for Consumer Electronics devices based on the company's popular Intel architecture (IA) blueprint.

Intel Explains In What Year We'll Be Cyborgs But Terminators Will Kill Us Anyway

2050. That's the year that you'll plug your brain into a toaster. Intel doesn't know how, precisely, but according to Intel CTO Justin Rattner's recent keynote at the Intel Developer Forum, they're working on it. From Intel's summary of the event:

Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores"

Impy the Impiuos Imp writes to tell us that in a recent statement Intel has revealed their plans for the future and it goes well beyond the traditional processor model. Suggesting developers start thinking about tens, hundreds, or even thousand or cores, it seems Intel is pushing for a massive evolution in the way processing is handled. "Now, however, Intel is increasingly 'discussing how to scale performance to core counts that we aren't yet shipping...Dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of cores are not unusual design points around which the conversations meander,' [Anwar Ghuloum, a principle engineer with Intel's Microprocessor Technology Lab] said. He says that the more radical programming path to tap into many processing cores 'presents the 'opportunity' for a major refactoring of their code base, including changes in languages, lib

Intel acquires UK-based Linux lab OpenedHand

UK Linux lab OpenedHand has been acquired by Intel. The OpenedHand team will become part of the Intel Open Source Technology Centre and will focus on development of the Moblin Software Platform, the optimised software stack for Intel Atom processors. Intel will continue supporting open source projects currently led by OpenedHand such as Clutter and Matchbox projects, and in most cases, will accelerate these projects as they become an integral part of Moblin.

A Genome in Any Format

In a recent post, Andrew Yates asked, "How much data is a human genome?" He then did a little math to show that an uncompressed diploid human genome would easily fit on two music CDs, if stored as a text file. That got Genetic Future's Daniel MacArthur thinking. There are, he says, other formats that a human genome could be stored in, including as images from an Illumina machine. In that format, a genome with 30x coverage would take up about 28.80 terabytes. Also, if the sequence data is stored as a Sequence Read Format file, the storage space'll top out at 1.98 terabytes.
