The research company Complete Genomics has figured out a way to sequence the human genome for less than $5000 in chemicals, making it seem more likely than ever that affordable genetic profiles will become a thing of the mainstream.  

A joint American-Malaysian effort has completed an important oil palm genome sequencing project that could unlock even more potential from this oil-rich feedstock for biodiesel. Biodiesel Magazine reports that the Malaysian Palm Oil Board and St. Louis-based Orion Genomics have led a consortium that has sequenced three oil palm genomes from two oil palm species: Oil palm [...]  

Scarab Genomics has made a series of planned, precise deletions to the E. coli K-12 genome, reducing the genome by more than 15%. The multiple-deletion series (MDS™) strains eliminate non-essential genes, cryptic virulence genes, and sequences of recombinogenic and mobile insertion sequence (IS) DNA, while preserving robust growth in rich and minimal media.  

The title says it all, really; Californian biotech company Complete Genomics has announced publicly that it has… … sequenced three human genomes for an average cost of $4,400. The most recently sequenced genome–which happens to be that of genomics pioneer George Church–cost just $1,500 in chemicals, the cheapest published yet.

Complete Genomics said it deciphered the whole genomes of three individuals, one for as low as $1,700. "This high-quality, cost-effective approach to genome sequencing will allow researchers to study complete genomes from hundreds of patients with a  

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Want to know your entire DNA sequence? Privately held Complete Genomics says it can do a genome map for as little as $1,700 -- compared with the $100 million the Human Genome Project spent to complete the first sequencing of the human genome in 2000.  

The cost of sequencing a human genome has dropped to just below $5,000. Well, sort of. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company Complete Genomics published a paper today describing its efforts to sequence three genomes at a materials cost of $4,400. Included in the trio is the genome of George Church, personal genomics evangelist and an adviser to the company, who has already posted the analysis of his data here.  

A US-based genomics company announces that it can perform genomic sequencing for under five thousand dollars. In my budget, that's "fully loaded 8-Core Mac Pro and a monitor," or "sweet new Canon 5D with one nice lens." But unlike those tools I covet, DNA is forever....  

With the newest DNA sequencing technology starting to reach the market, we're seeing a bit of a bifurcation. Some of the methods can do long reads, covering hundreds of bases, and provide data that's appropriate for assembling a genome that's never been

Futuristic speculative questions sometimes become present day practical questions. Have you asked yourself what price you'd be willing to pay to get your genome fully sequenced? Complete Genomics, a start-up based in Mountain View, CA, has again lowered the stick in the financial limbo dance of human genome sequencing, announcing in the journal Science that it has sequenced three human genomes for an average cost of $4,400. The most recently...

1:48 pm TWN, Reuters WASHINGTON -- Want to know your entire DNA sequence? A California company has done it for as little as US$1,700. Privately-held Complete Genomics says it can do a better quality, usable genome map for about US$4,400 compared with  

But according to an announcement made Thursday, an international team has reached that milestone, which could improve breeding, treatment of disease and performance traits. "It is the ultimate map," said Raudsepp, an assistant professor of genomics at  

Complete Genomics, a third-generation human genome sequencing company, has announced publication of a report in the journal Science describing its proprietary DNA sequencing platform, including analysis of sequence data from three complete human genomes.
