Researchers have developed a new DNA supercomputer which is promising to deliver radically cheaper genome sequencing.
The latest model by Illumina is designed to process 20,000 samples a year, with costs potentially as low as 1,000 dollars, the Verge reported.
Illumina's test will sequence every single base pair in a person's DNA, scanning huge quantities of genetic data that are not currently understood.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Illumina's previous model, which was released last year, performed sequencing for 3,000 dollars.
