Our friend @ddlow is back with more research on Complete Genomics. It should be an interesting summer for the company as we await the big news of a result of their strategic alternatives evaluation process. In the short term, a Nature publication should come out any day regarding the Long Frgament Read technology (LFR), likely in advance of a 7/12/2012 seminar on the same topic. See the link collection below to catch up on recent developments and put them all in context.
