Next-generation sequencing

Massively parallel sequencing read millions of fragments at once and collapsed costs.

454 Life Sciences launched in 2005 and Solexa, later Illumina, in 2006. The cost of a human genome fell from about $10 million in 2007 to under $1,000 by the mid-2010s, faster than Moore's law.
