What are Some Key Technologies Developed by Illumina?
Illumina has developed several proprietary technologies that incorporate nanotechnology:
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Utilizes nanotechnology to enable massively parallel sequencing, allowing for the simultaneous processing of millions of DNA fragments. Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS): This method employs fluorescently-labeled nucleotides and nanoscale detection systems to accurately sequence DNA. BeadArray Technology: Uses microscopic beads coated with specific probes to detect genetic variations across multiple samples simultaneously.
