2019 Sequencing Tech Speculations, Part I: Illumina & MGI

Next week is the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.   It's striking this year the paucity of companies in the genomics space -- Illumina on Mondayat 6:00 EST and MGI on Wednesday at 5:30 EST and Nanostring at 6:30 EST on Wednesday.   Perhaps NVIDIA will say something interesting about their forays into healthcare, such as providing the chops for real time nanopore basecalling, on Thursday at 11:30 EST. There's also some nice polls from Albert Viella on TwitterWhat would you like@illumina to announce at#JMP2019 ?https://t.co/TDn5J0glhi part 2— Albert Vilella (@AlbertVilella)January 5, 2019and some more Twitter speculationPredictions for@Illumina#JPM2019. Besides PacBio news, expecting NovaSeq SP 2x250. Any longer S4 kit or potential S5 would require upgraded onboard storage. Really hoping no new NovaSeq system.— CAT at UCSF (@CAT_UCSF)January 4, 2019So, before all the beans are spilled, here's some of the speculations and ponderings I've been entertaining about the sequencing technology field for 2019 for Illumina and MGI.   I'll cover some of the other players in the next few days, but since Illumina is up on Monday that's the priority!Read more »
