Research equipment: Ion Personal Genome Machine TM (PGM TM) Sequencer en Ion Proton TM Sequencer Ghent University
The Ion Torrent TM semiconductor chip technology makes it possible to rapidly generate millions of sequences in a scalable fashion. Small chips can be used to resequence specific genes, while the bigger chips can be used to sequence a complete exome or genome. The Personal Genome Machine TM (PGM TM) Sequencer is used to run the smaller chips, while the Ion Proton TM Sequencer is used to run the bigger chips. The technology is disruptive ...
