Technology Review reports that for just $1,350,000 USD you can have have the worlds fastest commercially available DNA sequencer, called the Heliscope. The machine developed by Helicos BioSciences ...

The HeliScope Single Molecule Sequencer consists of a number of subsystems that enable the precise control of chemistry, imaging, and data processing required for tSMS.

The HeliScope, introduced earlier this year, is joining an intense race for faster and cheaper sequencing technologies. The price of sequencing a human genome has dropped in recent years, from the ...

The technology in question is the Heliscope, brought to you by Helicos BioSciences; and the genome in question belongs to Helicos co-founder Stephen Quake.. Single molecule sequencing is clearly ...

The HeliScope Sequencer currently delivers throughputs of 25 – 90 million usable bases per hour, depending on the application with 99.4% accuracy. To achieve a higher level of sequence accuracy ...

To start the sequencing process, a scientist uses a multitip pipette to inject DNA samples into the flow cell. The flow cell is then loaded into the HeliScope, which contains a complex optical ...

A commercially available single-molecule sequencing platform, Helicos HeliScope, is also available, producing 400 million 25–35-bp reads ...

Aug. 12 -- MONDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- A U.S. researcher says he was able to sequence his entire genome for less than $50,000, with the help of only two people. "This is the first ...

Next-generation sequencing technologies have greatly reduced the costs and feasibility of DNA ... True single molecule sequencing by synthesis: None: HeliScope™ Single Molecule Sequencer: 25–55: ...

Pushkarev et al. present the first human genome sequence obtained using single-molecule sequencing technology. These results demonstrate that human genome sequencing—previously the turf of large ...
