Possibilities

Imagine the possibilities that emerge from being able to sequence the entire human genome in less than a day, and for a cost of less than $1,000. Such a technology will open the door to a wide range of new applications, particularly for the purposes of assaying disease risk and monitoring therapy response in patients. 

There is enormous untapped market in both the medical and pharmaceutical industries for assessing disease risk and tailoring drug therapies for each patient's unique genome sequence.  There is also an urgent need for a technology that enables real-time identification and characterization of pathogenic organisms encountered in the clinic or released as bioterror agents.  Additional examples of potential uses for ultra high throughput sequencing include forensic identification, basic research applications, and animal, plant, and microbe genome characterization of commercially relevant organisms.  The potential markets and applications are almost limitless once genomic information can be collected and analyzed quickly, accurately, and economically.
