Description
454 Life Sciences is commercializing novel instrumentation and services for rapidly and comprehensively conducting high-throughput nucleotide sequencing, with specific application to the sequencing of whole genomes and ultra-deep sequencing of target genes. The Company's successful submission of a complete adenovirus sequence to GenBank in 2003 marked the first time a new technology was used to sequence a whole genome since Walter Gilbert and Frederick Sanger won the Nobel Prize in 1980 for their invention of DNA sequencing in 1977. 454 Life Sciences' system enables one individual to prepare and sequence an entire genome after performing a single sample preparation, irrespective of the size of the genome being studied. The hallmark of 454 Life Sciences' technology is the PicoTiterPlate(TM), which allows a single instrument using patented light emitting sequencing chemistries to produce over 20 million nucleotide bases per five-hour run, totaling more than 100 times the capacity of instruments using the current macro-scale technology. The technology is commercially available at 454 Life Sciences' 454 Sequencing Center, which offers sequencing services to clients world-wide whereby samples are sent to and sequenced by 454 Life Sciences, and from Roche Diagnostics, the exclusive world-wide distributor of the Genome Sequencer 20 System and reagents. 454 Life Sciences is a majority-owned subsidiary of CuraGen Corporation (NASDAQ: CRGN). 454 Life Sciences Corporation is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).
