The company announced plans to initiate an early access program for development of the next set of performance improvements to the Genome Sequencer FLX System, which will double the read length of the current GS FLX Titanium Kits and expect to contain reads up to 1,000 bp. The DOE Joint Genome Institute will be the first site to begin early access later this month and will use the long-read chemistries to sequence a variety of large, complex genomes. Additional early access partners are expected to be announced in the near future.
