And mapped the entire human genome. Its primary purpe was to conquer disease. It was and remains a really big deal. audience applauding we are here to celebrate the completion of the first survey of the entire human genome. [kondwani] this roadmap of the intricate genetic codes ross theuman body empers docts better agnose and eat disee. Weve worked really hard on bringing down the cost of reading genomes, which i think is the thing that mt people could benefit from. [kondwani] thanks to advances in dna sequencing technology, the cost of reading entire genomes has plummeted. All it would take is a small Tipping Point event to shift it over so that everybys using this. And in the case of genetics, that would be reading everybodys genome and giving them information that was actionable. [kondwani] by actionable, he means letting individuals know what kinds of diseases theyre genetically susceptible to. This empowers species be proactive in avoiding or managing imminent diseases.
