3, 2007--Reveo,
Inc. has entered the race to win the $10 million Archon X
PRIZE for Genomics, to be awarded to the first team to
develop a tool that can sequence 100 human genomes in ten
days, for no more than $10,000 per genome, with 99.999%
accuracy. Reveo’s competitors include VisiGen
Biotechnologies, 454 Life Sciences, and the Foundation for
Applied Molecular Evolution. Reveo’s
Omni Molecular Recognizer Application (OmniMoRA)
uses principles from semiconductor electronics and
photonics, as opposed to indirect chemical methods used by
existing sequencing instruments. Source:
