Greetings ultra-sequencers and bioinformatics geeks.

The community of next-generation sequencing and its supporting bioinformatics is developing very rapidly, but also fragmenting into many factions. It has become very difficult for anyone to keep track of what is going on in the many different technologies, software development projects, and the various commentators.

I am going to try to make this blog a catchall where people can keep up on news from the technology vendors, survey progress in all sequencing related software, and keep up to date on relevant journal publications.

I can't do it all myself, so everyone is welcome to send in notes on relevant material as soon as they notice it.  Contributors may be invited to become co-authors. 

—Cheers,
