Ultra-long Read Sequencing for Whole Genomic DNA Analysis
Published on: March 15, 2019
Abstract:
The sequencing of the human genome represents the most significant breakthrough in healthcare over the past 40 years, according to Modern Healthcare readers. That achievement, capping a 13-year, $3 billion international effort funded by the federal government, drew the most votes from the 728 respondents to a survey that listed 60 healthcare milestones achieved since Modern Healthcare was founded in 1976. The survey asked readers to pick their top five choices from each of three categories: science and technology; healthcare delivery; and politics and policy.
