Jan 2, 2019 negative
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Araya: Existing genomic maps lack the functional data needed for applications
“Unfortunately the maps that we have today are really maps of function that just say where things that are, things like genes, biomolecules, where they are encoded in the genome, but it says really nothing about how they function and which parts of the genes do…”

Araya: DNA sequencing is the second-fastest advancing technology in history
“We've done a pretty good job at being able to acquire sequence information. That's, you know, some of the fastest advances in technology in the history of mankind. I'm told it's actually only beat by one other technology, which is the sort of the clarity of gl…”

Assertion Supported
Interpreting novel genetic variants costs 100x to 1000x more than sequencing
“And interpreting each one of those under the current clinical practices costs 50 to a hundred dollars. So we're talking about a hundred to thousand-fold increase in the cost of interpretation relative to the cost of data acquisition.”

Assertion Contradicted
Each sequenced genome contains about 100 novel variants in disease genes
“Although there are three million variants identified, There will be roughly a hundred variants that are novel variants in disease-associated genes.”

Jan 2, 2019 negative
Assertion Supported
Only 0.6% of disease-associated gene mutations have clinical interpretations
“If we look across all of the disease-associated genes that we know today, we only have clinical interpretations for roughly . Six percent of the possible mutations in them.”
