Illumina's Cheap New Gene Machine

A new DNA reader could turbocharge research into cancer and autism.

By Herper. forbes.com is.gd/69Ulm

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 on the market The move represents the latest salvo in a war among

several competing gene-sequencing companies to develop faster and cheaper

DNA decoding machines. It moves scientists one step closer to the holy

grail of being able to decode a person's entire genetic sequence for

$1,000.

Over the last decade the cost of sequencing

a single person's genetic material has shrunk by a factor of 10. The

plummeting price of DNA sequencing is as important to medicine as cheaper

microprocessors is to technology, because understanding how genes interact

to cause disease will require comparing the DNA sequences of hundreds or

thousands of patients. Within a few years many researchers believe the

resulting information will start to become medically useful. Ultimately,

top geneticists envision a day when every baby that is born has its entire

genome sequenced at birth.

Several upstart companies are working on

superfast DNA sequencers that work via new
