A very important breakthrough is missing in the list : Human Genome sequencing cost dropped to $1000 with processing time of only a day. Just 12 years ago it cost $3 billion dollars and 15 years of work.
- redwood 14y agoI thought we were still hovering above $1000 but getting close? Either way another important milestone of exponential gain is the cost of solar!
- pazimzadeh 14y agoAre you sure? 23andme.com apparently does it for $100.
- panic 14y ago23andMe doesn't fully sequence your genes. They just look for specific patterns.
- haberman 14y agoI think that's a misleading description. They do identify specific base pairs of your genotype (and you can download this data as a file), the difference is that they only identify a small subset of all base pairs, whereas sequencing identifies all of them.
