• Resumen

  • The article discusses the decreasing cost of sequencing the human genome despite an inability to interpret the results. Topics include the development of a gene sequencer that can sequence an entire genome for one thousand dollars, the gap between advances in sequencing technology and researchers' ability to understand the results, and a demonstration by researcher Euan A. Ashley of Stanford University's School of Medicine of how complex the process of analyzing a genome can be.
