In 2003, when the Human Genome Project produced sequences of about 90% of the genome, scientists and clinicians wondered when this technology would change healthcare. Meeting that goal depended on technology that could sequence a person’s genome quickly, accurately, and affordably. Through a collection of technological advances, the comprehensive suite of next-generation whole-genome sequencing (WGS) platforms from California-based Complete Genomics, a subsidiary of MGI Tech, meets all three criteria.
Radoje T. Drmanac, PhD, CSO at Complete Genomics, helped found the company in 2006. “We had technologies that we thought would conduct whole-genome sequencing, personal-genome sequencing, at an affordable price—make it even a routine process—to help research and then help medical applications,” he says. “So, that was the motivation.”
