(Bloomberg) -- China banned the import of Illumina Inc. gene-sequencing machines as part of a wave of retaliatory measures against fresh US tariffs on all Chinese goods, deepening the US company ...

Beijing banned imports of Illumina’s gene-sequencing machines in response to U.S. tariffs.

In genome sequencing, everything needs to be just right. It should be just right in terms of data quality, turnaround time, cost, and equipment ease of use. In some cases, those criteria are crucial.

Two competing companies will soon offer machines capable of sequencing a human genome in 24 hours, rather than weeks or months. On Tuesday (January 10), Illumina Inc. and Life Technologies Corp. both ...

With the savings, they have been able to sequence more. “Without this machine, we can't do anything at the scale we're working on,” Zhao says. Elaine Mardis, co-director of the Genome ...

A study by the CDC, FDA and USDA used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and machine learning to identify chicken and vegetables ...

Finally, a computer processes the data from the sequencing machine and compiles a list of tags. By comparing the tags to a sequence database, the researchers can identify the mRNA (and ultimately ...

DIY DNA on a Chip: Introducing the Personal Genome Machine DNA sequencing technology isn't exactly accessible; a typical sequencing machine can easily cost $500,000. Ion Torrent aims to change that.
