Clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories may soon find next-generation DNA sequencing reliable and affordable Swift advances in whole human genome sequencing may bring clinical applications to pathology on a much faster timeline than expected. One impressive example of the fast pace of technology improvements is the Ion Torrent, which is a semiconductor-based DNA sequencer now capable of sequencing 100 million base pairs. That is ten times the sequencer’s capacity when it was launched just...
