1970s, it is only in the last eight years that the field has gone through one of the most amazing transformations ever seen in science. Most people recognize that completion of the Human Genome Project was one of the key events that stimulated this phenomenon. However, the Project only acted to define what the real barriers were to fully using genetic knowledge. The concurrent invention of microarrays and biochips allowed scientists to rapidly unravel DNA codes. DNA sequencing is only the beginning and the task of determining the functionality of genes is far more daunting. One of the key practical questions is the role each gene has in synthesizing specific proteins within cells. This field of study, called proteomics, is crucial to almost all the ultimate long-range applications of DNA sequencing including gene therapy and drug discovery. Other applications include diagnostic tools to identify the risk of individuals to specific diseases, genetically altered food products and biological or chemical warfare sensing devices. This important BCC study captures a technology and business snapshot of the industry as it exists in 2004 and projects where it is going in the next five years. This picture is framed in the context of a history of how the field developed and who is responsible for many of the technology breakthroughs. SCOPE OF STUDY The report contains:
METHODOLOGY The material presented is based on information gathered from discussions with participants within the DNA sequencing industry in conjunction with a thorough review of the technology gathered from technical papers, patents and industry conferences. Final analyses and projections are based on a combination of factors, but are primarily based on a consensus of opinion among the primary contacts and an interpretation of market trends from a historical perspective. Given that this is such a new market, the growth rates stated by interviewees were conservatively weighted to allow for a more objective perspective. INFORMATION SOURCES Additional data was obtained from extensive reviews of secondary sources such as journals, trade publications, trade associations, company literature, and internet databases. All dollar projections presented in this report are in 2004 constant dollars. Get Full Details About This Report >> |
