Title: Current and future outlook of genomic technologies

Recent advancements in genomic technologies are changing the scientific horizon, dramatically accelerating biomedical research. For wide implementation of these technologies, their accuracy, throughput, cost, and workflow need to be addressed. In the past seven years,the cost of full human genome sequencing has been reduced by 4-5 orders of magnitude, and reduction will continue by another 10-fold in the next few years. At that cost level, major biomarker discoveries will fuel adoption of the latest genomic technologies for medicine, agriculture, consumer products, and forensics. In this talk, we will discuss Illumina’s efforts and provide our perspectives on the future of genomics.
