Three takeaways
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) estimated it cost about $95 million to sequence one human-sized genome at the sequencing centers it funds.
The Human Genome Project finished its reference human genome in 2003.
In January 2008 those centers switched from older Sanger-based machines to 'next-generation' sequencers, and costs began falling far faster than Moore's Law for computer chips.
