  • Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, technological improvements and automation have increased speed and lowered costs to the point where individual genes can be sequenced routinely, and some labs can sequence well over 100,000 billion bases per year, and an entire genome can be sequenced for just a few thousand dollars. (genome.gov)

  • Genome assembly: The human genome is over three billion DNA base pairs in length and contains many repetitive stretches of genetic code. (phgfoundation.org)
  • Long before the Human Genome Project charted almost all of the three billion base pairs of human DNA, ethicists and futurists sounded alarms about the potential misuse of genetic information, as testing became cheaper and more widely available. (macleans.ca)
