Hi Evan, great piece — didn’t know about Wu’s technique! While Sanger was definitely a multi-generational talent, there are two other people that have Nobels in the same field: John Bardeen (transistor and superconductivity; physics) and Barry Sharpless (asymmetric oxidations and click chemistry; chemistry).

Thank you for flagging this. We'll issue a correction!
Fantastic review of this incredible and powerful technology, which is still evolving in real-time!
Thanks for reading Jack! This is what I was trying to get at in the final paragraph of the PacBio section but you've put it much more eloquently.
