  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. life-sciences technology company · large-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in San Diego, California.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue in the range of $4–5 billion, almost entirely from selling instruments and consumable reagent kits that keep customers coming back like clockwork.
  • 3
    The History
    Founded in 1998, it pivoted early into a technology that would eventually make the Human Genome Project's price tag look laughably expensive — driving sequencing costs from millions to hundreds of dollars.
  • 4
    The Secret
    It dominates the global market for next-generation sequencing with a share north of 80% — a near-monopoly that regulators have scrutinized more than once.
  • 5
    The Lore
    The U.S. FTC successfully blocked its $8 billion acquisition of a cancer-screening startup, one of the most high-profile antitrust battles in biotech history. It bought the company anyway, then had to spin it back off.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    If your 23andMe kit, your oncologist's tumor panel, or a COVID variant tracker ever read your DNA, there's a very good chance its sequencer did the reading.
