Over the past 10 years DNA sequencing has declined rapidly in cost. It's hoped that future advances will make it cheap enough that it can find more frequent use in medicine and medical research in sequencing the genomes of cancer cells, for example.
DNA has traditionally been sequenced using more advanced variations on a technique called chain termination or Sanger sequencing. Some researchers, however, are working on techniques that could eventually supplant chain termination methods and drive cost down further still.
