Next-generation sequencing: the movie

It's propaganda, but it's pretty - Pacific Biosciences has a neat promotional video demonstrating how their next-generation sequencing technology works. PacBio is making big claims about the power of their new sequencing machines, and indicating that they'll be on the market sequencing entire human genomes in minutes by 2010. We'll see.

Interesting stuff. Should be fun seeing how PacBio vs. Visigen works out.

It's still unclear to me whether PacBio is using FRET...which would seem to interfere with Visigen's IP.

That announcer reminds me of Mr. DNA from Jurassic park:
