Miniaturization of assays in genomics and proteomics led to dramatic improvements in their speed at significantly lower cost, facilitating an explosion in their use in a wide variety of applications. For instance, sequencing a genome costs 10,000$ today as opposed to 100 million$ a decade ago; this has revolutionized many branches of biological research, drug discovery and clinical diagnostics.

基因组学和蛋白质组学分析的小型化导致其速度显著提高，成本显著降低，促进了其在各种应用中的爆炸式使用。例如，基因组测序的成本今天为1万美元，而十年前为1亿美元;这已经彻底改变了生物研究，药物发现和临床诊断的许多分支。
