Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Ion GeneStudio S5 Series

摘要

Since the emergence of sequencing in the 1980s, the field has seen an immense number of improvements in techniques, speed and cost. A report from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) noted that technological improvements and automation have increased speed and lowered costs to the point where individual genes can be routinely sequenced and some labs have the capabilities to sequence well over 100 trillion bases each year. In addition, an entire genome can be sequenced for just a few thousand dollars. Given the speed of technological improvements, as you are read this there may be new improvements being used.
