The Future of DNA-based Diagnosis, funded by Helix Partners Inc., was held to review some of the new research strategies being developed to move these mutation detection systems into routine large-scale application. Thus, a number of talks discussed the use of robot systems to increase the reliability and speed of tests, and there was a critical evaulation of advances in DNA sequencing by hybridization.
