Continued innovations in bioinformatics paired with the falling cost of DNA sequencing are poised to spur research breakthroughs in 2023.
To gauge how the DNA sequencing field is likely to evolve, we reached out to Logan Zinser, SVP, finance, Element Biosciences and Keith Robison, principal engineer, NGS Computational Biology, Ginkgo Bioworks. In the following feature, the two muse on themes ranging from the growing availability of next-generation sequencing and multiplex testing.
1. Falling DNA sequencing costs will empower the data-savvyAs the costs of DNA sequencing continue to fall, companies will do more sequencing.
“At Element, we are enabling our customers to generate a tremendous amount of high-quality genomic data at an unprecedented price, so the challenge shifts toward making sense of those data,” Zinser said. “Working with our customers and partners, we ar…
