$1,000 genome

Not to be confused with The 1000 Genomes Project.
Evolution of the cost of sequencing a human genome from 2001 to 2021

The $1,000 genome refers to an era of predictive and personalized medicine during which the cost of fully sequencing an individual's genome (WGS) is roughly one thousand USD.[1][2] It is also the title of a book by British science writer and founding editor of Nature Genetics, Kevin Davies.[3] By late 2015, the cost to generate a high-quality "draft" whole human genome sequence was just below $1,500.[4]
