After 454 now the second try by Roche: Axelios.
Preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.19.639056v1
Read here about the PoC: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1601782113
Current state (2025): https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2512825
Correction: the 5B flow cell will arrive for the NovaseqX(+), not for the Nextseq2000
