What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIllumina is voluntarily recalling its NovaSeq 6000Dx servers, the machines that read genetic code in labs and health research centers.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe story we were given doesn't say what's wrong with the servers, only that the company is the one pulling them back.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRight, so the reason is unclear. The editors say labs and health research could be affected, and that's all we can confirm this morning.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSecond recall of the morning, Hank. Your driveway, your medicine cabinet, now the genome lab.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEverything's being corrected today.
