This interview with Dr. Radoje Drmanac, co-founder of Complete Genomics and Chief Scientific Officer at MGI Tech, delves into the evolution of DNA sequencing technology.
Drmanac discusses his involvement in the Human Genome Project (HGP) and the development of massively parallel sequencing (MPS), which played a crucial role in reducing genome sequencing costs from $3 billion to $5,000 within seven years.
The interview highlights the contributions of Complete Genomics and MGI in advancing sequencing technology, introducing CoolMPS for longer reads, and their ongoing efforts to achieve a $10 genome.
Drmanac envisions a future where efficient sequencing transforms medicine, offering affordable health monitoring and disease prevention through deep molecular understanding.
What impact do you think achieving a $10 genome could have on personalised medicine and our ability to predict and prevent diseases? Share your thoughts!
