Last year, I asked the Biostar community for some suggestions for a course about Next Generation Sequencing technologies. There were a bunch of good ideas: ( http://biostar.stackexchange.com/questions/3355/i-am-preparing-a-course-on-ngs-any-suggestion )

My slides are still available on slideshare at: http://www.slideshare.net/lindenb/20101210-ngscourse

Here I wonder what have been the notable achievements, papers ,products for the NGS since last year.

In my list:

• Exome sequencing < 999$

• An updated diagram for the "Moore's Law" : http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110727/full/475435a/box/1.html

• Ion Torrent: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/07/how-accurate-is-the-new-ion-torrent-genome-really/

Any other idea ?

Many thanks !
