Segment Information, Geographic Data, and Significant Customers

For 2013 and prior, the Company was organized in two operating segments: Life Sciences and Diagnostics. Life Sciences operating segment included all products and services related to the research market, namely the product lines based on the Company’s sequencing, BeadArray, and real-time PCR technologies. The Diagnostics operating segment focused on opportunities in molecular diagnostics. During all periods presented, the Diagnostics operating segment had limited activity. Accordingly, the Company’s operating results for both units were reported on an aggregate basis as one reportable segment.

In late 2013, we announced organizational changes effective December 30, 2013, for the primary purpose of achieving scalability in our business operations to support our growth in strategic markets. The Company has separated the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and the President, with core market and operational groups reporting to the President, and corporate functions and the President reporting to the CEO. As a result, the Company began operations as one operating segment starting in December 30, 2013, and will continue to report under one reportable segment.

The Company had revenue in the following regions for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and January 1, 2012 (in thousands):
