This machine is rarely used in Germany. There are very little ivd/ce kits available. Plus it has high routine costs.

Human Genome/HLA GType
I have been using this product for one year and half running almost 40 injections. It’s easy and fast with almost 5 days to get your sequencing results. However, comparing to other companies it’s quite expensive. The automated system is still not sufficient and every step needs to be done manually. In general, it’s a good equipment for short sequencing goals.

- Point-and-click data analysis: Includes the GS Data Analysis Software for de novo assembly, reference mapping and amplicon variant analysis
Applications:
- Amplicon Sequencing: Targeted sequencing of 10's - 100's of samples and loci
- Sequence Capture: Targeted sequencing of custom array regions
- Whole Genome Sequencing: De novo sequencing and resequencing of microbial organisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses)
- Metagenomics: Characterization of complex environmental samples; pathogen discovery
- Transcriptome Sequencing: Full-length sequencing and de novo assembly of transcripts
Screening Cancer Genes Using NimbleGen Sequence Capture Arrays and the GS Junior Sequencing System
This application note by Roche illustrates a method for screening a core set of exons from 75 genes associated with cancer in a single GS Junior sequencing run. Oligo hybridization methods have been shown to effectively enrich for both contiguous and disjoint regions of the genome with much less effort than is required for PCR. DNA from three human cancer cell lines was captured and sequenced. Known variants from the literature were identified along with >900 previously unobserved variants including 30–60 insertions and deletions per sample.
Explore Next Generation Sequencing Possibilities with The GS Junior
This informative video from Roche introduces the conveniently sized bench top GS Junior DNA sequencing machine. This new technology provides an end to end next generation DNA sequencing system, enabling research labs to integrate NGS into everyday lab systems. Long reads of 400 – 500 bp can be obtained with a single run of up to 10 hours generating 35 million high quality bases.
