Another consequence of the rapid technological advances is that technology platforms become more and more specialized (eg, most genome centres have established three or more next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies).
Rapid technological advances and the falling costs of next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated the identification of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the human genome (The 1000 Genomes Project, 2010).

In the meantime, rapid technological advances have brought down the cost of green energy more significantly and faster than anybody expected.
But suddenly, with rapid technological advances and growing economies of manufacturing scale, wind power is now nearly at grid parity — meaning it costs roughly the same to generate electricity from wind as it does from coal.
The articles documented the sometimes crippling effects of radiation overdoses that resulted, in part, from the inability of regulators and the medical community to keep pace with rapid technological advances in the industry.
