With $100K Genome in Reach, NHGRI Focuses Advanced-Sequencing Program on $1,000 Goal
The current round of NHGRI’s Advanced Sequencing Technology grants is likely the last to support so-called “near-term” technologies, which aim to bring the cost of sequencing a human genome to around $100,000. Next year’s awards will be focused on “revolutionary” technologies that will reduce that cost to $1,000 by 2014.

Linz Researchers Say 454 Sequencing Will Improve Tissue Matching for Transplants
The researchers, who acquired a 454 Genome Sequencer FLX in May, eventually want to develop a sequencing method for routine use in HLA typing, which they say would be one of the first applications of 454’s technology in medical care.

Julian Parkhill On Sequencing Pathogens ‘Broad and Deep’ At the Sanger Institute
In his dual role as head of pathogen genomics and director of sequencing at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Julian Parkhill is helping to organize, and is also using, the institute’s sequencing platform. During a visit to his office in June, In Sequence talked to Parkhill about how the institute makes new sequencing technologies available to its faculty, and how they are used in a variety of pathogen sequencing projects.
