It was just this summer that MIT purchased 51 machines, and I am guessing these are larger than the desktop machine announced. It makes you wonder if in a few years your sequencing machine will sit there right next to your printer. This is not the first desktop model but rather a second one...

The Broad Institute of MIT is making a substantial investment with 51 of the devices. It was just a couple years ago that prices on the sequencing machines were really expensive, and well they still are not cheap, but a lot more affordable than at that time. Just a couple weeks ago the FDA cleared...

Research and development with genomics is continuing at the Baylor School of Medicine; however, the construction of the new hospital has been put on hold to find additional capital through philanthropy, federal funds and other sources. BD SAN DIEGO--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN...
FinchLab is the name of the software product to be used. We are all overwhelmed with data and sequencing is a huge amount of data to be interpreted, so the combination of the software along with the genetic machine produced by Illumina stand to make a good combination for not only speed, but also...
