Do you recommend Ion PGM or Ion Proton for mutation or expression analysis?

02 February 2015 1 5K Report

I'd like to hear your opinions about mutation or mRNA expression analyses based on your recent experiences with Ion Torrent platforms. Which bioinformatics tools are available for data analysis?

There are a couple of papers suggesting that illumina platforms are superior than Ion PGM/proton in terms of false discovery rate and detection of in-dels. Are these true?

Thanks in advance.

we are using Ion Proton platform for Panel-based next generation sequencing.this platform is fast, low cost and user frienly, but Ion Torrent's sequencing machines give us many homo-polymer errors
