Decoding genomes at high speed: implications for science and medicine.

Abstract:

At warp speed: The speed and cost of sequencing DNA has undergone tremendous improvement based on Solexa sequencing. This technique arose from basic curiosity-driven research and unexpected outcomes, rather than from ideas that were strategically driven. The whole-genome sequencing of individuals now possible may one day transform the way medical disorders are classified, diagnosed, and treated.
