Next next-gen sequencing technology

By Jason Stajich, on February 9th, 2008

I’m not at AGBT, but Jonathan and Anthony both have coverage of Pacific Biosciences’s new sequencing technology that uses detection of DNA polymerase activity to determine sequence. I believe some of the details are in the paper “Selective aluminum passivation for targeted immobilization of single DNA polymerase molecules in zero-mode waveguide [...]
