New Gene Sequencer to Break $1,000 Cost Barrier With NVIDIA Tesla GPU Acceleration
NVIDIA® Tesla® GPU accelerators are enabling Life Technologies Corporation’s new Ion Proton™ System to accelerate primary genome-sequence analysis — the computation that generates DNA base pairs — by over 16 times. This will dramatically reduce the cost to sequence an entire human genome from about $1 billion a decade ago to $1,000 in the near future.
