"In 1990, when the Human Genome Project was announced, the cost of deciphering a person’s entire genome was budgeted at $3 billion—about as far from personalized medicine as one can get.

But by 2001 the cost was down to $300 million. By 2010 it was below $5,000, and in 2012 the $1,000 barrier finally fell. Within 10 years, at the current rate of decline, a fully sequenced human genome will price out at less than $10."
