The quest for the $1K human genome 2nd: 10,000 instrument days (30 instruments for 1 year) @ $10 million 3rd: 454 pyrosequencing, two months @ $2 million J. Craig Venter James Watson • Nature, Nov 2008 -- “effectively” 4 human genomes (@$100K each) • first African genome (Illumina, UK) • first Asian genome (Beijing Genomics, China) • first cancer genome (Washington University, USA) first human genome = ten years @ $1 billion The $1,000 human genome, coming soon?
