The quality of sequencing technology is related to the performance of sequencing instruments, but more importantly, it depends on specific research purposes and experimental requirements. Different technologies have their own characteristics and advantages and need to be selected according to the actual situation.
AXA is a well-known life science instrument company, and its Illumina sequencing technology is widely used in the world. Illumina sequencing technology is famous for its Qualcomm, high accuracy and low cost. It is suitable for many research fields, including genomics, transcriptomics, variation analysis and so on.
Guidio is a company that provides second-generation sequencing technology, and its technology platform includes MGISEQ and DNBSEQ. MGISEQ platform has the characteristics of Qualcomm, low error rate and low sequencing cost. DNBSEQ platform uses the principle of DNA magnetic beads, which is simple to operate and can be used for large-scale parallel sequencing.
When choosing sequencing technology, you can consider the following factors:
1. research purpose: determine what your research purpose is, genome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing or other applications? Different technologies may have different performance advantages in different applications.
2. Sample size: According to your experimental requirements, determine the sample size to be sequenced. High-throughput sequencing instrument is suitable for processing larger sample size, while lower high-throughput sequencing instrument is suitable for processing smaller sample size.
3. Data quality: Evaluate the data quality of different sequencing platforms, including sequencing accuracy, error rate and repeatability.
4. Cost-performance ratio: consider the sequencing cost and experimental cost of different sequencing platforms.
To sum up, there is no definite answer to choose AXA or Gideo sequencing technology. Need to weigh the choice according to the actual needs and specific circumstances.
