Genomics, Sequencing and Data
• Took $3 Billion and 10 years to sequence one
genome
• Sequence in days even hours and for
<$1,000
• Explosion of data just to sequence the
genome
– Plans to sequence 14M new cancer patients
every year which would generate 5.6 Exabytes
of information.
• But there’s even more data in -omics
