Abstract
The emergence of high-throughput DNA sequencing within the past decade has redefined the world of molecular research. Mapping a human genome, a project that cost the United States government almost $3 billion and took 13 years to complete, is now speculated to soon be less than a week-long procedure costing $1000 or less1,2. With high-throughput DNA sequencing machines, we can rapidly process genomic data for relatively cheap amounts of money. As a result, genomic information is becoming more widely available for many different species. In addition to DNA, high-throughput machines can also be used to sequence other nucleotide-based molecules, including small RNA.
