How To Decode A Genome In Just A Single Day
The Harvard/ MIT Broad Institute and Intel set a new speed record for analyzing genomes.
Genome analysis is big business. Thanks to the human genome project, two related fields of medicine--computational biology and personalized medicine--have become part of our health care vocabulary over the past few years. Because genome sequencing requires multi-terabyte files and mind-boggling amounts of server power, it's been a boon for tech companies. One of them, Intel, announced this week that they can now analyze a genome in only one day, a 300% increase in speed from the previous three days it took for genome decoding.
