Human Genome Sequencing Gets Cheaper
BioNanomatrix, seems to believe in thinking big. The startup is planning to "simplify" and the entire Human Genome Mapping process and make it affordable. The aim is to bring the costs down to $100 levels, which sounds absurd considering the procedure currently costs over $1000. Nevertheless, the BioNanomatrix folks seem to have a trump card, a nanofluidic chip that will help cut costs and make the genome mapping process affordable to mere mortals. The eventuality of this could be "customized" medical treatment according to the patient's genetic profile.
