Cost of Human DNA Sequencing Drops Tremendously

The cost of determining the DNA sequence of a human has dropped tremendously in recent years: from $1 million in 2007 to less than $20,000 today. A technique that allows physicians to sequence only the DNA of known genes can drop the cost to around $2500, thus making use of DNA sequencing more practical in medical diagnoses. Here's an article in the latest Forbes about this: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0315/health-illumina-genome-cancer-diagnosis-by-dna.html.
