The Human Genome Project to read a full copy of the base pair sequence in one human started out with about 3 Billion dollars in initial funding, and it took a couple of decades to get complete coverage.
However, the technology, techniques and equipment developed to automate the process have massively cut costs and increased speed over that time.
> A new speed record in DNA sequencing may soon help families more quickly find answers to difficult and life-altering questions.
In just 7 hours, 18 minutes, a team of researchers at Stanford Medicine went from collecting a blood sample to offering a disease diagnosis. This unprecedented turnaround time is the result of ultra-rapid DNA sequencing technology paired with massive cloud storage and computing.
