genome has come down by about a hundred thousand times that’s a really big drop
thousand times that’s a really big drop
thousand times that’s a really big drop in cost over about 15 years so today it
in cost over about 15 years so today it
in cost over about 15 years so today it costs roughly speaking about a thousand
