Pioneers in synthetic biology and next-generation DNA sequencing ...

Data science divinations and community chatter pick favourites for chemistry's top prize

In terms of impact it clearly should...but my guess is that it won't, partly because it's hard to choose who should get it and also perhaps a bias against technology. And the Nobel's view of science via brilliant jumps is so outdated that it's often forced to choose smaller discrete contributions

Will next-generation sequencing receive a Nobel prize, and if it does who will it be awarded to?
