Copyvio edit

The lead section appears to be taken almost verbatim from this. Vicenarian (Said · Done) 18:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

By "we," do you mean to say your account is for a group or company? Vicenarian (Said · Done) 18:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Reads like Advertising Copy edit

This article reads more like advertising copy then an encyclopedia article. For example, a sale of the company called Verity to another company called Autonomy is reported to have occurred "recently." Of course, "recently" recedes quickly to the past as time moves forward. In this case recently refers to 2005. Other errors include NASDAQ links to companies no longer listed and outdated resume information which itself is overly detailed and inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. I would change it, but Wikipedia articles now have owners and all I could expect would be a reversion and an admonition regarding "vandalism." Even though Wikipedia is for me probably the website I use most, I quit donating to Wikipedia years ago because of this kind of nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.30.69.83 (talk) 16:48, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

SEC registration for Complete Genomics Inc edit

Here's the SEC registration for Complete Genomics Inc from its 2011 filing. https://sec.report/Document/0001193125-11-144259/#toc183984_1

SEC filings must disclose to potential shareholders any known risks or liabilities. If they don't, and a shareholder lost money, that shareholder could sue the company arguing that the risks weren't properly disclosed, and demand that the company make up the shareholder's losses. For that reason, SEC filings are usually forthcoming and candid about the risks and potential problems with the company, and a good source of objective information. Also, they're usually written in language for a knowledgeable investor, not an expert. See the table of contents. https://sec.report/Document/0001193125-11-144259/#toc

The problem is that this filing is from 2011, and I don't think it issued any later public filings after then. But a lot of the basic structure of the industry remains the same. It gives you a framework for understanding the industry, and you can update it.
