“Sequencing speed is increasing at an impressive rate. Consider that the initial mapping of the human genome was begun by the Human Genome Project in 1990 and was not completed until 2003 (at a cost of about $3 billion). Today, machines with superfast, sequencing-specific chips are capable of basic decoding in a single day. And even that will be reduced to a matter of hours in the near future. One major problem going forward is handling and analyzing the substantial volume of sequencing data – not to mention doing so in a timely and cost-effective manner.”
