Jeffery Schloss, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at Genome Sciences, has estimated that the cost of sequencing a human genome should cost $1,000 "within less than a year". Current costs range from $1,600 to $1,800, the lowering in price would allow genome sequencing to be used as a routine diagnostic tool in medical centres.
