The human genome is pretty darn big.
“The race was to sequence the human genome, all 3 billion genetic letters of it… a race not to the finish but to the starting line. Moreover, … the new race marked by that starting line was a marathon.”

Conclusions The revolution is here, and happening all about you. The front lines are in specialty care, but not for long. Considerably more basic, clinical, and translational research will be need to answer the “cost curve” question.
