This already represents a huge drop in cost from the HGP, which finished in 2003 and cost $3 billion. The $1,000-threshold is important, says professor of genetics George M. Church, because at that point it becomes economical for many individuals to have their genomes sequenced.

Greenfield ’08 pushed Petersen to establish a threshold at which the majority obtained in the referendum would justify concerted UC advocacy efforts.
