The biotech company Illumina is introducing a new machine that it says will decode a person's DNA in one week using $10,000 worth of materials--five times cheaper than any other competing gadget ...

Another milestone for Illumina came in 2010, when the company began shipping its HiSeq 2000 high-throughput gene-sequencing system, which was able to sequence DNA faster than any previous technology.

Illumina has a shot at doing both: build the hardware that makes DNA sequencing fast and cheap so more genetic tests become accessible, and then sell those tests. Illumina, of course, already has ...

The Personal Genome Machine – the cheaper-to-buy, fast-to-return-results DNA sequencer -- just got competition. The PGM, created by gene tech pioneer Jonathan Rothberg and sold by Life ...

Illumina, the global genome sequencing giant based in San Diego, keeps shattering records. Its sequencing machines are the undisputed heavyweights in analyzing DNA and RNA to improve human health.

New generation sequencers, like Illumina's MiSeq devices, help determine the sequence of DNA or RNA to study genetic variation associated with diseases and diagnose rare genetic conditions.

Illumina, the world's largest DNA sequencer company, ... In 2013, it acquired a company that sells genetic tests for babies, and invested in Helix, an app store for genetic data, in 2015.

Illumina’s Erica Ramos, a full-time genetic counselor who works with UYG, told me they find out about a significant variation with about 2% of the population.

It’s been nearly 15 years since San Diego’s Illumina gained supremacy in DNA sequencing — with just a few rivals competing to deliver the equipment and chemistry to map the genome. But that ...

Startups are challenging market leader Illumina Inc. in the race to lower the cost of DNA sequencing and expand use of the technology throughout research and medicine.

A Delaware jury on Friday ordered Illumina Inc to pay more than $333 million to a U.S. unit of Chinese genomics company BGI Group after finding that Illumina's DNA-sequencing systems infringed two ...

Verogen Inc. says crime labs’ analysis of DNA evidence needs to step into the 21st century. The newly launched company from Illumina Inc. and life-sciences venture firm Telegraph Hill Partners ...
