This Report

The last decade has seen remarkable innovation and development in the nucleotide sequencing field. Today, a number of powerful high–throughput sequencing technologies are available and are being used to address an increasingly diverse range of biological problems. The quantitative scale and efficiencies of next-generation sequencing platforms are also seeing unprecedented progress and growth in many areas of fundamental research. Also, dramatic reductions in the associated costs and the operational complexities of these techniques are opening up applications in areas that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago.

This report presents the findings of a new global study of nucleotide sequencing, which profiled the use of these techniques from the end-user's perspective. This study, which evaluated end-users' current sequencing practices and three-year plans, investigated market growth, the competitive positions of global sequencing suppliers, sequencing laboratory location, preferred external Laboratories, sequencing methods, sequencing laboratory instruments, company suppliers, applications, clonal amplification, diseases, nucleotide types, software, sequencing performance, numbers of samples, disease Biomarkers, study samples, sample preparation, advantages and disadvantages, fields, participant roles, organisation type, experience, countries and regions.
