G100-ER - Frequently Asked Questions

What motivated CycloneSEQ’s entry into nanopore sequencing technology?

Nanopore sequencing offers:

  • Full-length sequencing for ultra-short to ultra-long sequences.
  • Real-time pathogen detection and rapid diagnostics.
  • Direct sequencing and multi-omics applications (RNA, methylation).
  • Compact, portable devices at decreasing cost for broad applications.
  • Potential beyond sequencing for material transport and innovative research.

CycloneSEQ is BGI’s proprietary nanopore sequencing platform (launched 2024), combining advanced proteins, materials, MEMS manufacturing, integrated circuits, and AI algorithms to achieve ultra-long, real-time sequencing. Applications include pathogen detection, genetic disease screening, and genome assembly.

A one-stop sequencing solution enabling long-read expansion and downstream applications. Supports life sciences, public health, environmental monitoring, and precision medicine.

  • WT Sequencing Flow Cell
  • Library prep kits (Universal, 24-barcode, 96-barcode)
  • CycloneSEQ WT Sequencing Kit
  • CycloneSEQ workstation with CycloneMaster software

Data is compatible with third-party software (minimap2, clair3, flye).

MGI distributes globally:

  • Exclusive: China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan
  • Non-exclusive: Other regions
  • Distribution rights until 31 Dec 2029.

Data volume = Number of pores × sequencing speed × duration
Effective output depends on sample type, temperature, reaction conditions, and pore blockage.

CycloneSEQ excels in pathogen detection, genetic disease diagnosis, microbial genomics, and chromosome-level genome assembly.
