Illumina! Not Illuminati! Illumina!  ;D ;D ;D.

The race for the $1,000 genome has been won.

Biotech firm Illumina sent shockwaves through the biotech industry this week by unveiling a new machine that it says can sequence a full human genome for $1,000. Until Illumina came along, it cost approximately $5,000 to sequence the human genome, a price that puts the service out of range for many patients.

Illumina’s supercomputing machine, which is a combination of ten machines working together and is called the “HiSeq X Ten,” is available to purchase at a starting price of $10 million. This is too expensive for most labs, but three of these machines have been acquired by Macrogen, The Harvard-MIT Broad Institute in Cambridge, and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia.

The HiSeq X Ten can partially sequence five human genomes per day. The company says it can completely sequence 16 human genomes within three days. According to Illumina chief executive Jay Flatley, the HiSeq X Ten can sequence human genomes accurately enough to reliably identify DNA variants 10 times faster than its predecessor.

The new machine is designed to sequence thousands of genomes each year for a $1,000 a pop. At that price, an institution could expect to recoup the cost of purchasing the HiSeq X Ten in about five years, exclusive of operating costs. That may be a reasonable proposition for providers that can afford to pay the initial purchasing fee. However, while the $10 million price tag takes into account the cost of the machines and the chemicals needed to do the sequencing, it doesn’t account for overhead, such as power, data storage, and labor.

Full-genome sequencing is much different from the DNA sequencing offered by commercial outfits like 23andMe, which focuses on identifying short genetic sequences within a person’s genome, not on sequencing the entire genome.

The first crop of customers purchasing Illumina’s machine might opt to charge patients more than $1,000. However, by keeping the price tag low, they should be able to reach a mass market who will pay out of pocket to sequence their whole genome for the purposes of medical testing.

At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Illumina also unveiled a desktop-sized, $250,000 machine called the NextSeq 500, which is designed for the lab and can handle just one genome at a time. It can only handle some of the most common sequencing operations. The company said this machine would reach customers in March.

In this case: are you qualified to estimate on what secret organizations are doing with the understanding of the human genome?
Because my statement is only an intuitive guess -- that the cures and causes for genetic diseases have been found by these cognitive elitists -- and that they will rather cruelly refuse to share them, and instead share the great riches that come from keeping the sick sick.

My post's title was trying to make fun all those Illuminati threads made by err... one somebody back then. "ILLUMINA" is the name of that company. It was never my intention to have anyone to believe the Illuminati were behind, trying to sequence everyone's genome for a proper and total control from birth to death.

This is HUGE! A thousand dollar human genome sequencer? It won't be long till the human genome is fully sequenced!

If only they accepted bitcoin...

It wouldn't matter, millions of dollars are invested into sequencing the genome, they'll probably snatch this up unless its not as "effective" (IDK how it wouldn't be) as some other machine they have.

Well.... I really thought that it's another topic from well known broken user :D

My thought also , I read the title and I expected to see the thread starter Tom Troung but ....Wilikon
I was like wtf for a minute:) 

hihihihihihihihihihi!!!!!

To me this machine is like a CD/DVD-ROM reader... It can only read information. That is the first step. The next step would be to have a DVD-BURNER for your own genome so you could add data and hack yourself.

here's the sequenced human genome. http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg19/chromosomes/

So you mean that sequenced genome represents everybody on Earth? In that case no one will buy their machines, not even at $1000.

That information is on a website already. For free Duh! ::)
