[IIGBCORES_All] Genomics Core Seminar on Element AVITI System for NGS today at Genomics Auditorium 1102A

[Wei Zhang]

Dear All,


Please join *IIGB Genomics Core April Seminar* “Learn about the AVITI
system, the DNA sequencing platform that offers industry-leading data
quality at the lowest run costs” *today at 10 am PST at Genomics Auditorium
1102A & Lobby. *In this seminar, *Dr. Semyon Kruglyak, *the VP of
Informatics from Element Bioscience, will introduce the newly released
AVITI System. Refreshments/Snacks will be provided.


The Element AVITI™ System, released in 2022 by Element Biosciences (San
Diego, CA), is a benchtop next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform with
unprecedented performance, cost, and flexibility. The AVITI Sequencer is
compatible with the current NGS workflow. The sequencing cost via the AVITI
sequencer is comparable to or lower than NovaSeq 6000, the current dominant
large-scale NGS service provider, but only at a third of the instrument
cost and service contract. According to a UC DNA Sequencing Core Facility
Manager: “The AVITI does highest quality DNA sequencing

but metabolomics & proteomics are also on the roadmap using the  avidity
chemistry?” Here is an informative podcast

with
background info on the chemistry and the Element Biosciences company:
“*Nevermind
the $200 Genome, Element CEO Molly He Says Core Chemistry Capable of Much
More*”.


Below are some major features of the AVITI™ System (from Element
Biosciences website <https://www.elementbiosciences.com/products/aviti>).


   - $5 per Gb/$1 per million reads. The Element AVITI System has the
   lowest run costs available today in a benchtop instrument.


   - 1 billion reads/300 Gb per flow cell. With mid-throughput and factory
   scale pricing, AVITI System enables cost-effective exome and low-pass
   sequencing.


   - >90% Q30 data. Avidity Sequencing™ offers industry-leading accuracy,
   nearly eliminates index hopping, and has a low duplication rate.


   - Reagent price guarantee. Stable reagent pricing for the life of the
   instrument empowers researchers to do more science for their budget.


   - Dual independent flow cells. With 600 Gb of total throughput, run two
   applications at staggered times or maximize output with parallel runs.


   - Ecosystem compatibility. Validated solutions including bulk and scRNA,
   exome, and low-pass sequencing preserve your existing workflows.

Please come and join us! Feel free to bring your research projects and
questions for a talk with us. Join the Zoom:
