Global DNA Sequencing Market Is Projected to Grow at 4.63% Compounded Annually from 2005 to 2012

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c85153) has announced the addition of "DNA Sequencing 2008" to their offering.

The study emphasizes on both the Methods and Instruments/Software of DNA Sequencing in Medical Research, Agriculture & Animal Husbandry, and DNA Testing & Forensics application areas. Automated and Non-Automated (Sanger’s, Maxam-Gilbert and Pyrosequencing) DNA Sequencing Methods are analyzed. The major Instruments/Software segments encompass Instruments (DNA Sequencers, DNA Synthesizers, DNA Sequencing Kits, and Microarray Technology) and Bio-Informatics. In depth Application analysis of Medical Research fields such as Proteomics, Pharmacogenomics and Molecular Diagnostics is also covered. The report provides essential information including market data, segmentation, market size, key trends, M&A, product developments, industry forecasts, corporate intelligence, and other relevant information. The report lists 430 companies that are engaged in DNA Sequencing services, instrumentation, R&D and supply of products and services. Major Contract Research Organizations serving the global DNA Sequencing industry are also covered in the corporate directory section of this report. Projections and estimates are graphically represented by region, by technology and by product segment. A global perspective is presented along with regional analysis covering the regions of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Japan, and Rest of World. A total of 305 exclusive exhibits complement the study.

The US and Europe are forerunners in DNA Sequencing based Applications. Asia-Pacific and Japan rank high in terms of CAGR. DNA is the carrier of genetic information in living organisms. It is said to be the blueprint of an organism coordinating the various cellular activities and development. It regulates growth and metabolism and controls the traits, for example eye color. The order or sequence of the bases constitutes the specific instruction for a trait or activity. For example, the sequence ATCGTT may code for blue eye color and ATCGCT may express into brown eye color. But complex traits like intelligence appear to be influenced partly by inheritance and partly by environmental condition. Human DNA is made up of around 3 billion base pairs. About 99% of these bases are identical in all individuals.

The introduction of DNA sequencing has extensively accelerated the pace of biological research and various discoveries. The quick pace of sequencing can easily be achieved by employing sophisticated modern DNA sequencing technology. This has enabled the large-scale sequencing of the human genome, which is part of the Human Genome Project. The numerous related projects by scientific collaboration have succeeded in generating the complete DNA sequences of many plants, animals and microbial genomes across the globe. The success of the human genome project has led to rapid advances in the life science industry.

DNA sequencing is showing promising results in treating pathogenic infections such as HIV and Hepatitis virus, as well as other ailments; and is also gaining prominence because it offers a ray of hope for those afflicted with genetic disorders.
