New Tool Cracks Genomic Code Quicker Than Ever
US and Australian scientists have pioneered a new hybrid method for genomic sequencing that is faster and cheaper than state of the art technologies. The breakthrough will be welcomed in medical and biotechnology circles where there is rising demand for genome-sequencing technologies. The new hybrid method combines the best of new and old code cracking methods for “fingerprinting” the genetic basis of life. Scientists from the US-based J. Craig Venter Institute and the University of…[via Lockergnome’s Tech News Watch]
