Nature Methods has named next-generation sequencing its inaugural Method of the Year.

Check out the special feature (freely accessible online) with Commentaries by Stephan Schuster and by Barbara Wold and Rick Myers. In addition to celebrating the Method of the Year 2007 the special feature contains a shortlist of Methods to Watch in the years to come.

Here, we welcome your comments on our choices as well as your suggestions of other methods to keep an eye on. We firmly intend this event to become an end-of-the-year tradition, and we hope for your participation in next year’s nominations!
