Your Very Own Genome for $100

Imagine having a sound record of your DNA or genes in your pocket for a mere $100! This couldn’t all be something to wonder about in a decade’s time as Complete Genomics and BioNanomatrix have joined hands to devise a way of sequencing individual Genomes for as low as $100. Currently the process involves $60,000 in the making and a few days for its comprehension ofcourse. Talking on more realistic terms, different group of researchers are hoping to hit the $1,000 per genome mark within the next three years. Not only would these Genomes cost reasonably, even their comprehension would take a few hours. It would all be based on detecting the sequence of a DNA by identifying the entire words together unlike present times where the assessment is done word by word.
