Making the $10 Genome a Reality

Despite the growing demand for genomic data and the falling price of genome sequencing, costs continue to restrain its use. Single Technologies, which is developing a three-dimensional approach to sequencing, believes it can cut the cost to just $10 per genome for consumables. That’s a drop from estimates of about $600 today. We spoke to Johan Strömqvist, CEO and founder of Single Technologies and Bob Kain, advisor to the company, about its 3-D Sequencing, how it works, and how this can open up expansive use of the technology.
