illumina

So Oxford Nanopore has also been looking at an alternative approach, called exonuclease sequencing, in conjunction with Illumina, an American firm that is the market leader in rapid sequencing.

所以“牛津纳米孔公司”，和快速测序领域的领头羊，“Illumina公司”也在一同研究一种叫做“核酸外切酶测序”的办法。

Both sides have been helped by a technical development, the construction by companies like Affymetrix and Illumina of instruments known as microarrays or chips that can now detect up to 500,000 snips.

技术进步给两面都带来了极大的帮助。像Affymetrix和Illumina构建公司的微阵列或芯片工具现在已能检测到50万个SNP。
