As it gets cheaper and easier to read genetic code, its applications are expanding rapidly
Next Generation Sequencing has been with us for little more than a decade, but has already revolutionised biological science. And while Illumina has grown from its origins in a Cambridge lab to dominate the global sequencing market, new techniques promising to be faster, more user-friendly, or to read longer strands of DNA, are carving out their own application niches.
