Premium

At the National Human Genome Research Institute's Advanced Sequencing Technology Development meeting in Chapel Hill, NC, two weeks ago, J. Provine, Halcyon's director of nanofabrication, talked about the progress the company has made over the last several years.

NHGRI Awards More than $50M for Low-Cost DNA Sequencing Tech Development
Premium

$28.7 million in stimulus funding boosted the number of awards for low-cost sequencing technology development this year from 10 to 17. Seven grants went to corporate research teams, at Pacific Biosciences, Helicos BioSciences, IBM, Ion Torrent Systems, Electronic Biosciences, GE Global Research, and Lightspeed Genomics. Another award supports collaborative research with Halcyon Molecular.
