NO.1 GemCode Platform (GemCode sequencing platform)

Company: 10X Genomics (founded in 2012, headquartered in Pleasanton, California, USA)

Time to market/launch: February 2015 Product introduction: The GemCode platform is equipped with a set of molecular barcodes and analysis systems consisting of chips, gel beads, library reaction kits and informatics software, similar in appearance to benchtop PCR machines.

The workflow of the system: first add DNA samples to the GemCode chip, and add gel beads and liquid separation oil. In the instrument's microfluidic system, the split oil dispenses the sample to a size of 100 bp and is incorporated into a gel bead with a specific primer label (compatible with Illumina sequencing). Subsequently, these gel beads dissolve the release primers and initiate library construction. Then, GemCode informatics software can connect separate short reads to produce new data types: linked reads.

In this way, researchers can use the GemCode platform and the original Illumina sequencer to get long pieces of information. Moreover, the connection read data can detect haplotype and structural variation (missing, duplication, etc.), and achieve genome-wide sequencing with 25-fold coverage, thereby obtaining genomic information more accurately.

Technology breakthrough: The GemCode platform has the advantage of accurately reading structural variations, haplotypes and long fragment genes for targeting, exome and whole genome sequencing. By combining with a short-reading sequencer, the current sequencing requirements are met. It is currently compatible with Illumina's sequencers.
