On NGS and Research

• “A whole new range of exciting applications are springing up -- made cost effective by NGS”
• “We have to keep data production and data management in proper balance.”
• “We want our bioinformatics managers to be more research consultant and less IT administrator – the highest and best use of our talent.”

On GenomeQuest and ICBR

• “When I saw how well the GQ platform handled the high volume of sequence data, I said: that’s what we need to do.”
• “GQ reduces the resistance or fear of high-volume sequencing from investigators.”
• “Being able to connect and manipulate their own data is what investigators like so much about GQ.”
