When should we expect full genome sequencing to become affordable?
- jonmrodriguez 15y agoThis blog claims 2014, although it reads as extremely optimistic, so we should probably assume 2020 to be safe. http://blog.genomequest.com/2010/07/implications-of-exponential-growth-of-global-whole-genome-sequencing-capacity/ http://blog.genomequest.com/2010/07/implications-of-exponent...

Here's the price per genome for the last decade: http://www.genome.gov/sequencingcosts/ http://www.genome.gov/sequencingcosts/ and an explanation: http://singularityhub.com/2011/03/05/costs-of-dna-sequencing-falling-fast-look-at-these-graphs/ http://singularityhub.com/2011/03/05/costs-of-dna-sequencing...
