Re: [DIYbio] ReSeq crowd funder to write new software for HiSeq DNA sequencers

This guy is cool.  A lot of people I know in sequencing mention his blog.  (I know next to nothing about NGS).  Maybe he'd give you a shoutout, maybe not.

Hi folks,

John is right, the campaign is only for writing software to allow people to drive the machines. You will be able to use the Micromanager interface and scripting capabilities to do whatever you want, including patented procedures, if you can get your hands on the consumables and if you aren't exploiting them commercially, but IANAL, just a software developer.

Looks like this will be a close call as to whether we will reach our funding goal, any suggestions on where else to post are very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kaspar

My take on reading the https://wemakeit.com/projects/reseq-reuse-dna-sequencers pages is that
components will be developed for uses first and maybe some day allow open uses, but not really in conflict with Illumina's
patents, and so not using their consumables.  They did not say they were going to make the machines run as they did
when new.

Driving them as an automated microscope was first on the to do list.
