Ten years on: a new genomic revolution
A decade after the first human genome map, Yale’s new DNA sequencing facility provides a wealth of information at unprecedented speed

That effort took 10 years, $3 billion, and the work of 900 automated DNA sequencing machines scattered in laboratories around the world.Ten...
