A device that reads the sequence of DNA using semiconductor technology could bring the power of sequencing to a much broader swath of the science world. The desktop machine, developed by a startup ...

DNA sequencing technology isn’t exactly accessible; a typical sequencing machine can easily cost $500,000. A startup called Ion Torrent aims to change that with a desktop sequencing machine for ...

In the past decade, the cost of sequencing an entire human genome has dropped from $1 billion to $10,000. As companies race to crack the $1,000 genome, the contending DNA machines in the ...

Third-generation sequencing machines promise to make their mark one molecule at a time.

1 machine, 4 weeks now enough to sequence human genome Researchers have used a new machine that sequences millions of small DNA … ...

A benchtop machine that reads DNA using semiconductor technology could help make gene sequencing affordable to labs around the world. The machine's maker, Life Technologies in Carlsbad, California ...

The biotech company Illumina is introducing a new machine that it says will decode a person's DNA in one week using $10,000 worth of materials--five times cheaper than any other competing gadget ...

DNA sequencing technology isn't exactly accessible; a typical sequencing machine can easily cost $500,000. Ion Torrent aims to change that.

The cost of the machine alone is a breakthrough because it opens up the doors of DNA sequencing. "A genome sequence for $1,000 was a pipe-dream, just a few years ago," said Gibbs in a written ...

The idea: IBM wants to build a "DNA Transistor" that would be the world's cheapest genetic reader. Scientists refer to the idea as the "$1,000 genome." But IBM says they might be able to get the ...
