Subject: DNA sequencing
We anticipate purchasing a number of DNA sequencing machines
early next
year and are interested in what might be coming out of
Perkin-Elmer soon.
As you know, they are forming a company with Venter to use their
new
technology to sequence the entire human genome in about 3 years.
Have any
of you heard anything about how the new machine works? It
sounds like a
multicapillary machine, perhaps with highly multiplexed
detection, but the
press releases don't give anything about design or performance.
Any info
would be appreciated.
