Proof Point
Cost to sequence the human genome decreased dramatically from almost $100 million in 2001 to around $1,000 in 2015
Cost of Sequencing Single Human Genome
2001 – 2015 (US$ millions)
Proof Point Findings
- Exponential Cost Decrease – Cost to sequence a single human genome dropped 99% from $95.3 million in 2001 to $1,245 in 2016
- Advancing Platform – Cost decreases accelerated in 2008 as new, advanced sequencing platforms became available
- Further Advances Expected – Innovation in genome sequencing technologies expected to continue resulting in further cost reductions, according to The National Human Genome Research Institute
