cited from OX dot ac dot uk 6 gene sequencing test for cancer patients on the NHS Health Science 25 Mar 13 The first multi-gene test that can help predict cancer patients' responses to treatment using the latest DNA sequencing techniques has been launched in the NHS, thanks to a partnership between scientists at the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. The test detects mutations across 46 genes in cancer cells, mutations which may be driving the growth of the cancer in patients with solid tumours. The presence of a mutation in a gene can potentially determine which treatment a patient should receive. The researchers say the number of genes tested marks a step change in introducing next-generation DNA sequencing technology into the NHS, and heralds the arrival of genomic medicine with whole genome sequencing of patients just around the corner. The new £300 test could save significantly more in drug costs by getting patients on to the right treatments straightaway, reducing harm from side effects as well as the time lost before arriving at an effective treatment. The many-gene sequencing test has been launched through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) , a collaboration between Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust and Oxford University. The BRC Molecular Diagnostics Centre carries out the test. The lab, based at Oxford University Hospitals, covers all cancer patients in the Thames Valley area. But the scientists are looking to scale this up into a truly national NHS service through the course of this year. omitted stuff http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2013/130325.html

Illumina won first round Competition before QE2 of 2013 Genomics Conference Illustrates that Illumina is Outpacing the Competition Ivan Deryugin March 15, 2013 On the evening of March 14, Illumina (ILMN) announced that a federal jury found it guilty of infringing a patent held by Syntrix Biosystems relating to the company’s BeadChip product line, fining Illumina $96 million based on a 6% royalty on all BeadChip sales between 2005 and September 2012 ( Syntrix’s lawsuit was filed in November 2010). AGBT 2013: Highlighting Illumina’s Strengths Life Technologies, arguably Illumina’s largest and key competitor, provided updates on its own technology, the Ion Proton system, including its new Ion Proton PII system. Admittedly, Life has made a good deal of progress in resolving several issues relation to its sequencing franchise, namely the issue of homopolymer errors, which are a key issue when it comes to Life’s semiconductor-based sequencing process (and Roche’s sequencing technology as well). However, Life’s Ion Proton PII system, seen by many as a meaningful competitor to Illumina, has been delayed. Life originally expected to launch the Ion Proton PII system in Q4 2012, but the system is now set to launch in mid-2013, Oxford Nanopore’s systems. However, the company’s CTO Clive Brown did state that the company’s systems will be delayed by about 5 months due to quality issues relating to one of the company’s sensors. In addition, Oxford Nanopore is working to address issues regarding the accuracy of its sequencing systems, with a goal of lowering its error rate down to 1% from a current 4%. The delays at Life Technologies and Oxford Nanopore do more than give Illumina months of additional runway to update its own sequencing systems and make progress in developing new technologies. //propthink.com/genomics-conference-illustrates-that-illumina-is- outpacing-the-competition/5472
