There is no Moore's law for the DNA sequencing either.
But yet, DNA sequencing saw an exponential growth as time went on. I read somewhere (forgot the source) that 20% of the genome sequencing was done in the first 10 years. 80% was done in the next 5 years.
HIV took 15 years to be sequenced. SARS took 31 days.
So - even though Moore's law isn't valid, no industry stays stagnant. Exponential optimization will occur - even with wireless electricity. At least with the size and the range issues.
The alignment issues - I don't know how they'll deal with that.
- jacquesm 17y agoI disagree with you. Moores law applies to DNA sequencing very much because it is subject to the same kind of improvements that have benefited the semiconductor industry to date. Some of these benefits are direct (such as analyzers on a chip), some of them are indirect (such as using more powerful computers to do the analysis faster).
