The Independent | William and Michael Andregg, co-founders of Silicon Valley next-gen sequencing start-up Halcyon Molecular, have given their most extensive interview to date on the motivation and circumstances that led to the launch of this ambitious company in 2008, funded in large part by the 'PayPal mafia.'
