Bionanomatrix is pursuing a sequencing technology that can read a human genome. Its quick and doesn't cost a lot; only takes 8 hours and can cost $100 or less. This tool can make it so medical treatment can be tailored to person's destinct genetic profile. Han Cao, company founder, created a chip that uses nanofluidics and a series of branching, ever-narrowing channels to allow researchers to isolate and image long strands of individual DNA molecules.
