Executive Summary
Linking high-throughput DNA sequencing systems in parallel to form a very high speed "virtual" sequencer could allow researchers to sequence over 50,000 bases per hour, according to Visible Genetics. The Canadian firm has been issued a US patent covering the technique and aims to use eight of its Clipper automated sequencers combined into a single virtual instrument for these very high throughput applications.
