I just read an article on clari.tw.science about a faster genetic
mapping technique developed by Mathies and Glazer at the "University
of California" (UCSF???). Using a new machine and flourescent dyes,
it states a rate of 10,000 "segments" per hour is now possible.
Has anyone else heard more about this method? Can anyone give some
references on it? I would like to hear more about how this will be
used, and if it would change the estimated cost per base pair for the
sequencing efforts underway.
The article title is: Researchers speed up genetic mapping process
I bet the net would like to hear any more information that comes up
about this new technique.
