And it just keeps getting cheaper...

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Yesterday I mentioned how the price keeps dropping on genome re-sequencing, and already today I spot yet another post (on CLC Bio's "Next Generation Sequencing" blog) on the very topic. Now VisiGen will start selling genome re-sequencing for $1000 -- what I would consider the price at which you will start using re-sequencing rather than SNP typing -- at the end of 2009.

Will we see the first re-sequencing association mapping studies in 2010?

Joining the DNA Network

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Today I received an email from Hsien-Hsien Lei from Eye on DNA, inviting me to join the DNA Network (read a description of this network here). So now I have.

The DNA Headlines

I wasn't even aware that this existed, but I am happy to learn about it. There is lots of interesting blogs there to follow (and I am a bit addicted to blog reading).

I am just a bit nervous if I have anything much to contribute to all this, but hey, if you don't like my blog just stop reading it, right?
