Guys, this would never have happened without whole genome sequencing.

They're one of two companies that makes these massive whole genome sequencing tools.

The cost of sequencing the human genome is dropping precipitously.

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

Start with gene sequencing.

On any given plantation, 20 percent of the trees produce 80 percent of the crop, so Mars is looking at the genome, they're sequencing the genome of the cocoa plant.

You don't know the sequencing.

Then the question is, can you reassemble, with that genome, the whole bird?

like DNA sequencing or protein folding.

I got interested in gene sequencing.

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

And could Africa get that sequencing wrong?

We saw genome sequences.

And as you're thinking about these two guys sequencing a human genome in 2000 and the Public Project sequencing the human genome in 2000, then you don't hear a lot, until you hear about an experiment last year in China, where they take skin cells from this mouse, put four chemicals on it, turn those skin cells into stem cells,

Huge gene sequencing facilities the size of football fields.

And so we just heard about the DNA sequencing.

lies within the bat genome.

We didn't sequence his genome.

It's DNA which is pretty badly fragmented, but with good techniques now, you can basically reassemble the whole genome.

I happened to be an early guinea pig, and I got very lucky to have my whole genome sequenced.

DNA sequencing on your iPhone? There's an app for that.

The human genome is being sequenced.

like we can measure the genome.

What does a genome look like?

However, the nearest genome is Andorian.

The second question is, does the sequencing of the download matter?

You know about the Human Genome Project.

I present to you the human genome.

But, human genome, we have a problem

I'm correcting a defect in its genome.

We're now approaching essentially a thousand dollar genome probably next year to two years, probably a hundred dollar genome.

If we compare my genome to the genome of you, approximately every 1,200, 1,300 letters will differ between us.

The first thing we see is that the whole genome, all your DNA, is contained inside its own tiny compartment, called the nucleus.

And those are both about perpetuating the genome.

DNA virus, DNA genome that was actually sequenced.

How many are there in the human genome?

The Cancer Genome Atlas is coming out now.

And we're in the process of sequencing all that at the present time.

Moore's law, the old way of sequencing, and here's all the new stuff.

Craig Venter has just joined our board and we're doing a rapid genome sequencing prize with him, we'll be announcing later this fall, about imagine being able to sequence anybody's DNA for under 1,000 dollars, revolutionize medicine.

Inside every cell in your body lies your genome.

The Human Genome Project, or a Mars Rover mission.

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

The Genome Project was a controversial project in 1990.

That's a big chunk of the global genome gone.
