DISQUS

BGI did announce a services business (probably in anticipation of this announcement) earlier this week, so it looks like their mission statement is changing.

Thanks -- I've updated the item.

Erratum. Your paraphrase that BGI "can sequence 50 billion" is off by 3 orders of magnitude. They claim 50 million only on that page.

Allen, thanks for the catch. Pretty sure I transposed "million" and "billion" because that BGI sentence referred both to sequencing capacity (in millions of bp/day) and computing power (in billions -- of operations? -- per second). Sorry about that.
