I take it back, I did find something--Thursday WSJ
DNA Decoding Maps Mainstream Future
online.wsj.com
Another candidate in the race is Helicos's Heliscope, which the company calls the first "DNA microscope." Unlike the other machines, Helicos's skips a step where pieces of DNA are duplicated before being read into a computer. Helicos says that will make its machine cheaper and easier to operate. The company estimates its equipment, set for release later this year, will cost $2 million. With it, the price of sequencing a person's genome will drop to $100,000, the company says.

Thanks for the URL and the WSJ tidbit. I think we are going to see some major breakthroughs in this area in the next few years.
