DNA - THE PRIMARY FRONTIER
Voyage into the building blocks of life -- adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine -- the nucleotide bases in a molecule of DNA.
Here, within these DNA nucleotides, lie answers to the mysteries of life's genetic diseases.
The mission of the Next Generation DNA Sequencing Core Facility (NGS) is to sequence large amounts of DNA quickly and inexpensively, said Director Jim Eudy, Ph.D.
"It took $2.7 billion and a factory full of DNA analysis instruments 13 years to sequence the first human genome. With the latest NGS instrument, we can do it in 10 days for less than $10,000."
