1pb / 100gb / genome = 10,000 genome sequences. And that's just raw data from one platform. If you're interested in e.g. splicing diversity you would want to do

1pb / 100gb / genome = 10,000 genome sequences. And that's just raw data from one platform. If you're interested in e.g. splicing diversity you would want to do long read RNA sequencing. Leaving room for intermediate results (alignments, assemblies) you would only have room for a thousand people.
- learnstats2 12y agoThanks for picking up on this :) As I said, it's arguable. I was working on the principle that the effective population size of humans is 10,000. (And your genome is oversized, no? 3 billion base-pairs is less than 1 Gigabyte)
