Clinical OMICs BLOG ROUNDUP AllSeq AllSeq provides a global forum that matches researchers' sequencing projects with providers via its matching and bidding system. As a service to the sequencing community, AllSeq created the Sequencing Knowledge Bank, which offers a neutral view of the various sequencing technologies and applications. This free resource can help researchers and clinicians understand the ins and outs of next-generation sequencing, guiding them to the solution that best fits their needs. Topics discussed on the blog include nanopore sequencing and the ideal RNA-Seq platform. Click here Cancer Genetic Counseling Inside DNAnexus The Cancer Genetic Counseling blog, which was launched in 2008, provides the latest genetic counseling and testing information to help people make informed medical decisions. These interventions are meant to offer guidance so action can be taken to tailor healthcare and reduce their risk of developing cancer. Recently covered topics include a study showing that genetic counseling has led some patients to cheaper BRCA tests and concerns raised over the quality control and oversight of public genetic databases. Fueled by technological advances spanning biochemistry, microfabrication, optics, and high-performance systems design, DNAnexus is made up of experts in software, computational biology, and genetics who are on a mission to unlock the potential for DNA-based medicine and biotechnology with a collaborative and scalable data technology platform. The blog discusses product updates, industry insights, opinions, and references. Recent entries covered innovation in the drug discovery process and what it would take to make big data in biomedicine a success.

Koboldt's research interests are human genetics and cancer genomics, and the content of his blog reflects that. Most of the posts are in-depth reviews of recent research publications or editorials from his perspective working at a large-scale sequencing center. Recently, he discussed the new challenges of next-generation sequencing including translation into the clinic.
