Complete Genomics says it will offer $5000 sequencing of a whole human genome (~3 billion base pairs) by mid-2009, which would be a major price breakthrough.
The secret: it has optimized the computation of genetic sequencing, building one centralized, giant super sequencer. It aims to sequence 1 million human genomes within the next 5 years.
