HLCS....lo segnalo....la notizia mi sembra di quelle bomba......
 
io sono dentro da ieri in chiusura a 1$.....dopo che aveva fatto un max a 1,70....qui il gain a due zeri ci potrebbe stare tutto.....
 
..i volumi continuano ad essere notevoli......
 
torno a farvi compagnia anch'io...sono finalmente uscito in gain da telkonet e mi butto qui!!
 
che dite per oggi .....???????
 
Io sono uscito a 1,2.................
 
entrato ieri a 1,13 valuto giorno per giorno ......
 
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (TheStreet) -- A new generation of human genome technology analysis is represented by the Helicos Genetic Analysis System, a new machine from Helicos BioSciences (HLCS Quote) of Cambridge, Mass.
The machine is the first commercially available, whole-molecule human genome sequencing system. The applications of this system range from diagnostic genome sequencing for individual patients to biotechnology research of a complexity not feasible until now. "The frontiers to be opened will involve uses of the human genome not even imagined today," said Steve Lombardi, Helicos president, in an interview.
The machine works by splitting the double helix of DNA into single strands and breaking the strands into small fragments that, on average, are 32 DNA units in length. Light emitted when a new helix is formed on these fragments characterizes the sequence in the original DNA. The light is computer analyzed and compared with human genome sequences already on file. This is done for billions of these small fragments and the differences in the test sequences from those most common in the general population identify what makes a certain individual unique.

In its literature, Helicos states: "Helicos' proprietary True Single Molecule Sequencing (tSMS) technology allows direct measurement of billions of strands of DNA enabling scientists to perform experiments and ask questions never before possible. Helicos believes the tSMS sequencing by synthesis approach will represent the first comprehensive and universal solution for single molecule genetic analysis, dramatically lowering the cost of individual analyses."

The technology was developed by Stephen R. Quake of Stanford University. The New York Times reported earlier this week that the professor used the technology to become the seventh individual in history to have his personal genome sequenced. The process took three people four weeks to perform at a cost of $50,000.
Quake said, "There are four commercial technologies, nothing is static and all the platforms are improving by a factor of two each year." He added, "We are about to see the floodgates opened and many human genomes sequenced."

Quake said in the Times article that the much-discussed goal of the $1,000 genome could be attained in two or three years. That is the cost, experts have long predicted, at which genome sequencing could start to become a routine part of medical practice.
Depending on how widely the machine is used, the market for it is estimated possibly ranging from $1 billion to $5 billion a year. "The use in patient diagnosis will probably be a second wave of applications. Initially the use will be in biotechnology development, research and other non-patient oriented areas," Lombardi said.

The Helicos president said there are more than 10,000 DNA sequencers in use, with a capital cost ranging from $60,000 to $300,000 each. This is a capital investment in place for an outdated technology probably between $1 and $2 billion. Replacement of these pieces of equipment, plus an emergence of untold additional genome analysis applications, easily aslso could amount to more than $1 billion a year in sales for this market, in addition to the yet-to-be developed patient diagnostic applications.

The following table shows comparisons of the four competitors in the total genome sequencing space: Helicos, Illumina(ILMN Quote), Life Technologies (LIFE Quote) and Roche.

Human Genome Heavyweights

Competitors in Total Genome Sequencing
Company Name Ticker Market Cap ($B) Earnings (ttm/share) Total Cash ($B) Total Debt ($B)
Helicos Biosciences Corp. HLCS $0.08 ($1.24) $0.014 $0.007
Illumina ILMN $4.51 $0.52 $0.74 $0.28
Life Technology Corp. LIFE $8.11 ($0.10) $0.49 $3.46
Roche/454 Lifesciences RHHBY.pk $52.60 $5.86 $18.00 $48.10



Tiny Helicos is by far the smallest of the four, but has the lead in commercially available, full genome analysis systems. According to Lombardi, Helicos has delivered seven machines to date, the most recent earlier this month to an undisclosed biotechnology company in the Northeast. Lombardi declined to provide any information at this time on the order pipeline or backlog, citing upcoming Securities and Exchange Commission reporting activities
 
insomma che vuol dire !!!!!!!!!!
 
domani danno i dati fiscali? se brutti con tutti gli shorter incazzati che girano si potrebbe entrare + bassi.

Il prodotto sembra rivoluzionario... cmq

Helicos è di gran lunga il più piccolo dei quattro, ma ha il piombo nelle commercialmente disponibile, sistemi di analisi del genoma completo. Secondo Lombardi, ha espresso Helicos sette macchine fino ad oggi, le più recenti all'inizio di questo mese riservate a una società di biotecnologie nel nord-est. Lombardi ha rifiutato di fornire qualsiasi informazione in questo momento l'ordine di condutture o arretrato, citando prossimi Securities and Exchange Commission attività di segnalazione

sembra secondo l anilista sono state vendote 7 macchine recentemente dovrebbere far migliorare il Q2
