- A Landmark in genomics, scientists have done something that hasn't been done ever. Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance. By sequencing the sample, researchers not onl...

China’s BGI says it can sequence a genome for just $100
Using technology originally acquired in the US, the Chinese gene giant BGI Group says it will make genome sequencing cheaper than ever, breaking the $100 barrier for the first time. The Shenzhen company says the low cost will be possible with an “extreme” DNA sequencing system it pla...Tags: China, BGI, sequence, genome, $100
