The $1,000 Genome: The Revolution in DNA Sequencing and the New Era of Personalized Medicine
Once only a subject for science fiction movies, whole genome sequencing is rapidly becoming a reality for the masses. So, what does this mean for you?... Davies does a commendable job of answering that question.--The Spittoon (spittoon.23andme.com)Kevin Davies'The $1,000 Genomedeserves to be widely read... It presents a careful and I think entertaining view of the past and possible future of  personal genomics. --Keith Robison -- "Omics! Omics" (omicsomics.blogspot.com)In this informative and accessible work of scientific journalism, Englishman Kevin Davies predicts that personalized genome sequencing will soon become so affordable that it will revolutionize medicine. --Winnipeg Free Press``The great impact of a new technology – from cotton underwear to the jet to the computer – comes not when it is invented, but when it becomes cheap enough to be within the reach of everybody. Gene sequencing has now reached that point. With unrivalled knowledge of the people who made this possible, Kevin Davies eloquently explains how it came about, and hints at what will come next.’’ (Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist)
