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
