Talk:Archon X Prize

message: The competition guidelines from the [official website] state "no more than one error in every 10,000 bases sequenced", while the competition guidelines from the official PDF version 2.0 state "no more than 1 error in 100,000 base pairs  sequenced". There is a lot of money on the line, so I imagine this conflict will be resolved soon enough. Please leave a notice here if you see that either source has changed to reconcile this conflict.

replies: text: They had been informed of that error (ironically in the error rate rule) a couple of times already. Their PDF guidelines have been correct.  Another editor (Frankatca) seems to refixed the wiki entry back to 100,000.  (By the way, I am on the Archon X-prize SAB). Thanks, --George Church 02:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The debate on the Accuracy rate

message: For reasons that may ultimately become clear when this prize has been won, the recategorization of this article by Lquilter from the "Science" category to the "Science and Engineering" category is most appropriate.  It may turn out that the prize is won by a presently unanticipated technological approach more properly seen as an "engineered' solution than a 'scientific' one. Specifically there is one team in stealth mode whose approach to DNA sequencing provides a 2+ order of magnitude increase in speed and reduction in cost by largely eliminating the slow, inexact wet chemical methods that are today's state-of-the-art.
