Genome [1:1] In the beginning, there was nothing. In the darkness, Watson & Crick beheld the double helix, a stairway to heaven, twisting upward toward understanding. And Fred said, let there be sequence: and there were sequencers.

[1:2] On the dawn of the first day God inspired curiosity, and the foundations were laid for deciphering the essence of life. Fred, with the chain terminator method, brought light to the sequences of nucleotides, while Maxam and Gilbert pioneered chemical methods to reveal the DNA code. And God saw that the foundation was good, and it was the evening and the morning of the first day.

[1:3] God divided innovation from persistence, and the tools of discovery grew. Leroy and Michael created the Applied Biosystems370, amplifying the ability to sequence DNA with precision and speed. The heavens of sequencing were expanded, and the knowledge multiplied. And God saw that it was good, and it was the evening and the morning of the second day.

[1:4] God called forth collaboration, and the Human Genome Project began, a monumental endeavour to map the blueprint of humankind. Scientists across the earth united in purpose, revealing the vast landscape of the genome. And God saw that it was good, and it was the evening and the morning of the third day.

[1:5] From the seeds of progress sprang new technologies. David and Shankar brought forth Solexa sequencing by synthesis (SBS), illuminating the path forward, while long-read sequencing, led by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore, unravelled even the most complex regions of DNA. These tools brought clarity to the most intricate designs of life. And God saw that it was good, and it was the evening and the morning of the fourth day.

[1:6] And now, in this age, God called forth greater precision and accessibility. Element Biosciences and Ultima Genomics emerged, shaping the present with efficient and cost-effective sequencing, bringing the marvels of genomics closer to Man. The knowledge of life became deeper, richer, and more widespread. And God saw that it was good, and it was the evening and the morning of the fifth day.

[1:7] On the Sixth day…Roche SBX?

[1:8] On the Seventh day…???!!!
