Global Proteomics Market 2012-2016: One of the Main Drivers in This Market Is the Increasing Demand for Personalized Medicines
M2 - Fri Feb 28, 10:17AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dn2hwq/global_proteomics) has announced the addition of the "Global Proteomics Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Proteomics market to grow at a CAGR of 14.43 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for personalized medicines. The Global Proteomics market has also been witnessing a shift from genomics to proteomics. However, the intense competition among vendors could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space are Thermo Fischer Scientific Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., Life Technologies Corp., and Danaher Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Roche Diagnostics Corp., Betcon Dickinson and Co., Affymetrix Inc., Shimadzu Corp., Bio Rad Laboratories Inc., Illumina Inc., Abbott Laboratories, GE Healthcare Ltd., Perkin Elmer Inc., Xencor Inc., Cellzome AG, Waters Corp., Dionex Corp., and Bruker Daltonics Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Healthcare team said: ''One of the recent trends being witnessed in the Global Proteomics market is the growing popularity of proteomic analysis as compared to genomic analysis. Both genomics and proteomics find application in drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and drug development. Genomics is the study of the genes or DNA of an organism. Proteomics, which was introduced after genomics, has become more popular because it offers more benefits than genomics. For instance, proteomic analysis is faster and more effective in terms of data analysis than genomic analysis. Thus, there is a considerable shift from genomics to proteomics for disease diagnosis and drug development. This trend augers well for the growth of the Global Proteomics market during the forecast period.''

The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Market is Poised to Reach $2.7 billion by 2017
M2 - Wed Feb 26, 8:14AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4mskzv/next_generation) has announced the addition of the "Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Market - Global Forecast to 2017" report to their offering. This research report categorizes and analyzes the global Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) market on the basis of steps in the NGS workflow and NGS applications. These markets are further divided into segments and sub-segments, to provide exhaustive value analysis for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and forecast to 2017. Each market is comprehensively analyzed at a granular level by geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World) to provide in-depth information on the global scenario. The next generation sequencing (NSG) market is rapidly evolving with a large number of developments taking place to increase accuracy and speed, and reduce costs of sequencing. It is the fastest-growing and most lucrative segment in the genomics space with an estimated growth of 16.3%. The global NGS market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2012 and is poised to reach $2.7 billion by 2017. By supporting genomics research, various government bodies like NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, U.S.) and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC, U.K.) are increasing the adoption of high-throughput sequencing platforms. Key Findings: - The NGS pre-sequencing (sample - preparation) segment represents a promising area in the overall market owing to the need for automation and standardized solutions for sample preparation. The market for sequencing platforms has been very dynamic. Some revolutionary platforms like GA IIx (Illumina) and SOLiD Series (Life Technologies) have taken a setback and newer platforms like MiSeq and Ion Torrent Proton are gaining market dominance. - Along with large research and academic institutions that serve as a key end-user for the NGS market, NGS technologies are recently being developed for use in clinical set-ups and presently much of the NGS effort is focused on cancer. - The factors driving the NGS market include decreasing costs, improved turnaround time, increase in number of applications, and replacement of microarray applications by NGS. Personalized medicine and biomarker discovery open avenues for investments, thus offering a growth opportunity for the NGS market. However, the causes for hindrance to growth will be the high reliability on grants by research institutes, accuracy and standardization concerns, data storage problems, and issues in interpretation of complex data.

DNA blood tests show prenatal screening promise
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE - AP - Wed Feb 26, 5:09PM CST
A DNA test of a pregnant woman's blood is more accurate than current methods of screening for Down syndrome and other common disorders, new research finds. If other studies bear this out, it could transform prenatal care by giving a more reliable, non-invasive way to detect these problems very early in pregnancy.
Illumina's Non-Invasive verifi(R) Prenatal Test Using cfDNA Significantly Reduces False Positive Rate of Fetal Aneuploidy Detection Compared to Current Standard Pregnancy Screening Practices
Business Wire - Wed Feb 26, 4:00PM CST
Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced that in a direct comparison of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell free DNA (cfDNA) to standard prenatal aneuploidy screening in a general obstetrical population, the verifi(R) prenatal test(1) significantly reduced the rate of false positive results for the detection of fetal trisomies 21 and 18. In addition, the study demonstrated that the verifi(R) prenatal test performs consistently well in all pregnant women, regardless of their risk level for fetal aneuploidy.

The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Market is Poised to Reach $2.7 billion by 2017
M2 - Wed Feb 26, 8:14AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4mskzv/next_generation) has announced the addition of the "Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Market - Global Forecast to 2017" report to their offering. This research report categorizes and analyzes the global Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) market on the basis of steps in the NGS workflow and NGS applications. These markets are further divided into segments and sub-segments, to provide exhaustive value analysis for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and forecast to 2017. Each market is comprehensively analyzed at a granular level by geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World) to provide in-depth information on the global scenario. The next generation sequencing (NSG) market is rapidly evolving with a large number of developments taking place to increase accuracy and speed, and reduce costs of sequencing. It is the fastest-growing and most lucrative segment in the genomics space with an estimated growth of 16.3%. The global NGS market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2012 and is poised to reach $2.7 billion by 2017. By supporting genomics research, various government bodies like NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute, U.S.) and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC, U.K.) are increasing the adoption of high-throughput sequencing platforms. Key Findings: - The NGS pre-sequencing (sample - preparation) segment represents a promising area in the overall market owing to the need for automation and standardized solutions for sample preparation. The market for sequencing platforms has been very dynamic. Some revolutionary platforms like GA IIx (Illumina) and SOLiD Series (Life Technologies) have taken a setback and newer platforms like MiSeq and Ion Torrent Proton are gaining market dominance. - Along with large research and academic institutions that serve as a key end-user for the NGS market, NGS technologies are recently being developed for use in clinical set-ups and presently much of the NGS effort is focused on cancer. - The factors driving the NGS market include decreasing costs, improved turnaround time, increase in number of applications, and replacement of microarray applications by NGS. Personalized medicine and biomarker discovery open avenues for investments, thus offering a growth opportunity for the NGS market. However, the causes for hindrance to growth will be the high reliability on grants by research institutes, accuracy and standardization concerns, data storage problems, and issues in interpretation of complex data.
