Applied Biosystems SOLiD 3 Plus genomic analysis platform

Applied Biosystems’ SOLiD 3 Plus System, a genomic analysis platform, is designed for users working towards mainstream sequencing of personal genomes for clinical research and personalised medicine.

The system is claimed to accurately generate more than 60 gigabases of mappable sequence data per run, at a 20% less cost per run. Increased throughput, with up to 50% decrease in cost per gigabase, shorter run times and improved data analysis make it suitable for large-scale resequencing genomic projects, including whole genome resequencing, methylation analysis, miRNA and targeted resequencing.

BioScope software provides an integrated framework for data analysis, allowing smaller data file sizes while delivering faster mapping times. The software enables users to export data into a standard base sequence format, enabling the combination of data from multiple sequencing platforms into a single project-based analysis and allowing direct comparison of data from multiple sequencing platforms.
