• Metagenomics Analysis Using the Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  The Genome Sequencer FLX System from 454 Life Sciences and Roche Applied Science is a versatile sequencing platform suitable for a wide range of applications, including de novo sequencing and assembly of genomic DNA, transcriptome sequencing, small RNA analysis, and amplicon sequencing. The Genome Sequencer FLX is built upon 454 Sequencing technology that enables long read lengths and very high single-read accuracy. One application in which the technology is accelerating the field's understanding is metagenomics. more

• Ultrafast De Novo Sequencing of Corynebacterium urealyticum Using the Genome Sequencer 20 System
  

  A microbial genome sequence provides a wealth of data and specific information that cannot be obtained by other experimental approaches. A genome sequence can be regarded as the starting point for detailed bioinformatics analysis, metabolic reconstruction and systematic functional examination of all identified genes. In particular, genome sequencing has revealed important information on genes and deduced proteins of human pathogens, including putative virulence factors and potential new drug targets. more
