This involves using tiny wells to directly sequence DNA fragments in an emulsion.

I wonder if this is the mini-Sanger sequencing method described in the last issue of PNAS?

The fact that they've gotten so much out makes me suspicious of contamination, but I guess we'll see.

No. Described earlier, last year or so, in Nature. I am too dumb and have forgotten the company making the machine off the top of my head. It is a breakthrough in my mind.

I agree with your comment about contamination, although, the sequence itself theoetically would be indicative of that.
