The demonstration brings «plug and play» sequencing one step closer to reality, wherein individual labs will be able to do what today is accomplished primarily in large sequencing centers. (sciencemag.org)
But this step toward fast, cheap genomes doesn't spell the end for large sequencing centers. (sciencemag.org)
It eventually took more than a decade, a billion dollars, and international scientists in 20 large sequencing centers around the world to complete the first human genome sequence in 2003. (unlockinglifescode.org)
