🔬 Science Biotechnology Genetics Data Analysis Research Methods Instruments
  1. Roche is working on new nanopore sequencing technology, focusing on how much the instruments will cost to produce. Understanding these costs is important for the technology's success.
  2. The nanopore sequencing process involves collecting a large amount of data quickly, which means the data rates are extremely high. This could lead to challenges in storing and processing such vast amounts of information.
  3. Since the raw data volume is so large, it's unlikely that most users will store it all. Instead, they will probably need to focus on analyzing only the most crucial information collected.
