DENVER, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting (Nov. 5-9, 2024), Complete Genomics, a pioneering genomic sequencing company, will highlight an expanded application menu and broader market adoption of its flagship sequencer DNBSEQ-T7 ™ and a series of product launches and new innovations.

Over the last year, Complete Genomics’ flagship sequencer, DNBSEQ-T7 has gained more adoption in the market for its flexibility, catering to the industry trend of sequencing more modalities (multi-omics from DNA/RNA to protein), at a lower cost and higher resolution (from bulk to single cell and spatial omics), through an expanded menu of applications to enable human genetics research using DNBSEQ CompleteWGS, spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and single cell sequencing.

“Aligning with the industry’s demand to rapidly provide more data at a lower cost point, in 2024, our flagship high throughput sequencer, DNBSEQ-T7, gained good traction in the high throughput sequencing market,” said Rob Tarbox, VP of Product and Marketing at Complete Genomics.

At Booth #745, ASHG attendees can learn about whole genome sequencing (WGS) and spatial solutions, product highlights, new technology innovations, sequencing product demos, a menu of sequencing applications. To learn more and add the full program of speakers to your calendar, visit completegenomics.com/ASHG2024.

Complete Genomics will highlight the following product innovations:

DNBSEQ-G400RS FluoXpert: This new multifunctional sequencer merges high-throughput sequencing with multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF), enabling in vivo spatial protein detection and seamless multi-omics analysis for both DNA/RNA and protein data within one system.DNBSEQ-G800: A versatile benchtop sequencer designed for exceptional accuracy and extended read lengths enabling Q40 accuracy and single-end reads of 600 bp and beyond, it delivers the longest single read among short-read sequencers, powered by CoolMPS technology for improved variant calling for a range of demanding applications.DNBelab-D4 Digital Sample Preparation System: A portable, fully automated system for preparing libraries from DNA or RNA samples to DNA Nanoballs (DNBs) in about 2.5-3.5 hours. This enclosed system minimizes contamination and accelerates turnaround, making it ideal for metagenomics, targeted sequencing, whole genome sequencing and converting third-party libraries for DNBSEQ compatibility.DNBSEQ-G99 – Delivering Q40 data quality for a broad swath of sequencing applications, with two independent flow cells for up to 48 Gb in less than 12 hours for PE150 (from loading to FASTQ), or 96 Gb in 30 hours for PE300.Spatial transcriptomics – New agreement to be the exclusive distributor of STOmics products in the U.S. STOmics, which specializes in solutions for spatial multi-omics through an advanced spatiotemporal multi-omics platform, is differentiated with unbiased, high resolution, species agnostic, large field of view multi-omics solutions. Researchers interested in incorporating spatial transcriptomics into their research can apply to two targeted tracks of the Complete Genomics Spatial Xcellerator grant program.CompleteWGS – A comprehensive workflow solution that provides increased genomic coverage, improved sequencing of challenging genes, and haplotype phasing. The solution enables labs to routinely sequence genomes yielding high quality, comprehensive data in a cost-effective and scalable manner. The approach is powered by the proven accuracy of DNBSEQ sequencing technology.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
