They reported an approach that generates several billion bases of nucleotide sequence per experiment at a relatively low cost. Single molecules of DNA were attached to a flat surface, amplified </p>

Images of the surface were analysed to generate high-quality sequence. They demonstrated the application of&nbsp;their approach to human genome sequencing on flow-sorted X chromosomes and then scaled the approach to determine the genome sequence of a male Yoruba from Ibadan, Nigeria.&nbsp;<br />
