Acker: Human Genome Sequencing Takes Hours for Hundreds of Dollars
“Now we can sequence a human genome literally in hours, and we can do it for hundreds of dollars.”
Casdin: Human genome sequencing cost dropped from $3B in 2003 to $500
“The human genome was finished in oh three, cost the government about three billion dollars, and took about 13 years to do.
If you had started in that day, it would have taken you three, four, five years, and cost you 300 plus million.
It was done in a room f…”
Otte: 23andMe analyzes less than one percent of the human genome
“You can do things like 23 and me, which looks at less than one percent of the entire genome, looking at specific mutations that you were born with, and what that can tell you about who you're going to be.”
Ott: Well-studied cancer driver genes represent less than 1% of the genome
“The genes that I mentioned, we're really talking about less than one percent of the entire genome. And so there's this 99.99% of the genome that hasn't really been understood in terms of how they affect people's bodies and how these diseases come out from othe…”
Zeevi: Gut Microbes Carry 3 Million Genes, 150x the Human Genome
“And this, these microbes have a 150 times more genes than are in the human genome. They have about three million genes.”
Kaganovich: Genomics infrastructure requires a Waze-like real-time patient feedback system
“If the human genome was quote unquote mapped in 2000, I think there's kind of one still needs to make the Google Maps of that, and then one after that we would need to make the ways, ah, of the human genome, where you actually have feedback, where you know som…”
