The fastest DNA sequencing technique was achieved in 5 hr 2 min by Euan Ashley (USA and UK) and the ultra-rapid genome team at Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA on 16 March 2021.


This record was validated with benchmarks from the Genome in a Bottle consortium, hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Euan and the ultra-rapid genome team sequenced a human genome using an Oxford Nanopore PromethIon-48 machine.
