DNA sequencing currently provides information on the order
of bases within a gene to a high degree of accuracy. However,
the large size of many genes involved (e.g. the breast cancer
susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2) and the number of
patients requiring analysis means that improvements in
throughput are highly desirable. Robotic workstations are
currently being introduced into many molecular genetic
laboratories to try to meet this demand by automating many of
the laborious sample handling steps involved.
