Goal Created for DNA Sequencing Cost

mgcsinc writes "The original Human Genome Project completed its sequencing of the human genome with billions of dollars; the current cost is around $50 million. Now, geneticists are hoping that within 10 to 15 years of development in the practices of the field, they can lower this cost to a mere $1,000. This Yahoo article details these intended developments, and the world we can expect, in terms of genetics, in the future."
