Is the ``$1000 Genome'' really $1000? Understanding the full benefits and costs of genomic sequencing

Abstract excerpt

New health technologies are often portrayed in the media as being low-cost innovations that will save health care costs. In the case of genomic sequencing – high-speed analysis of multiple genes in parallel fashion – there has been a great deal of media attention about the falling cost of sequencing, referred to as the “$1000 Genome” – with the implication that the full cost of testing is actually $1000. Genomic...
