Pop News Brief: A new DNA reader can sequence an entire genome for $1000—one fifth the cost incurred using competitor machines. For autism, this new technology could quicken the pace of genetic research, make available more diagnostic tools, and provide easier access to individualized treatment. Even with this novel sequencer, however, the limitations of data analysis and current genetic knowledge will likely dictate when and how the machine will be used for autism.
