We didn't sequence his genome.

Your genome is the entire sequence of your DNA.

Your genome is the entire sequence of your DNA

The human genome is being sequenced.

Except genomics is a lens on biology through the window of the sequence of bases in the human genome.

You know about the Human Genome Project.

I present to you the human genome.

But, human genome, we have a problem

How many are there in the human genome?

The Human Genome Project, or a Mars Rover mission.

Another thing we can't see is the human genome.

Another thing we can't see is the human genome.

First of all, human genome, we have a problem.

At the very top you find the uniformly random sequence, which is a random jumble of letters and interestingly, we also find the DNA sequence from the human genome and instrumental music.

You just have to look at the Human Genome Project.

The cost of sequencing the human genome is dropping precipitously.

The first human genome took 10 years, three billion dollars.

The human genome is composed of 3 billion base pairs.

That entire set of 23 human chromosomes is called a genome.

The Human Genome Project started in 1990, and it took 13 years.

It was the sequencing for the first time of the human genome.

And then the human genome said, maybe we only have 35,000 genes.

This should be a big science project equivalent to the Human Genome Project.

Instead, we have been operating with a unisex vision of the human genome.

If you tell me you're going to be the developer of the map of the human genome, you better know what a human genome is I want you to have expertise.

And as these technologies go forward, you keep seeing this, you keep seeing this, you keep seeing things 2000, human genome sequence and it seems like nothing's happening, until it does.

Ham and I took two years off as a side project to sequence the human genome, but as soon as that was done we got back to the task at hand.

So the worldwide capacity to sequence human genomes is something like 50,000 to 100,000 human genomes this year.

That was a project which aimed to read one copy of the human genome.

So we can now, in a matter of hours, determine a whole human genome.

Today, you can have a complete sequence of the three billion base pairs in the human genome at a cost of about 20,000 dollars and in the space of about a week.

So to give you a picture of what this looks like, the Human Genome Project

And I'm coloring these small windows blue if another virus shares an identical sequence in its genome to that virus.

And I'd like to submit to you that we have sequenced the human genome, we know everything about the sequence of the gene, the language of the gene, the alphabet of the gene,

It takes about 5 billion dollars to sequence a human being the first time.

And the simple answer is, well, the human genome has three billion of these base pairs.

We now think there are likely to be only just over 20,000 genes in the human genome.

We now think there are likely to be just over 20 thousand genes in the human genome.

So, if you look at a human genome, they consist of 3.2 billion of these base pairs.

It is now possible will be possible, and if Craig Venter indeed comes today, he may tell you something about this to sequence the human genome for 40 million dollars by the end of this year.
