Illumina, one of the big players in genetic sequencing tech**logy, is introducing a new sequencer that the company believes may make possible personal ge**mes for 0 a pop. Crossing below the 0 barrier is thought by many to be an achievement that would bring us into a new age of medicine in which patient genetics will be used to make clinical decisions. Though that’s still only a speculation, faster and cheaper sequencing will certainly Help researchers tracing diseases and identifying genetic variants that require many samples to to be analyzed.
The new **vaSeq ****** of sequencers, with the **vaSeq 5000 and **vaSeq 6000 as the first models, will be capable of simultaneously processing three to 48 Whole ge**mes at a time. Though the devices get close to costing $1 million each, the per-sample cost will be typically smaller than on previous Illumina devices. The speed of the process from beginning to results is also reduced to Help labs doing lots of sequencing get through the tedious task faster.
“The introduction of **vaSeq marks one of the most important inflection points of in**vation in Illumina’s history. In the same way that HiSeq X enabled the $1,000 Ge**me with the HiSeq architecture first an**unced in 2010, we believe that future systems derived from the **vaSeq architecture we are launching today one day will enable the 0 Ge**me and propel discoveries that will enable a deeper understanding and better treatments for complex disease,” said Francis deSouza, President and CEO of Illumina, in a statement. “The **vaSeq Systems enable the study of genetic links between health and disease at an unprecedented scale by making it possible to sequence more samples at greater depth and take on projects that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive. By accelerating the trajectory of ge**mics with these systems, Illumina is making it possible to envision a future in which all people can benefit from precision medicine.”
