And if you think about the computer industry and how we've gone from big computers to little ones and how they get more powerful and faster all the time, the same thing is happening with gene sequencing now: we are on the cusp of being able to sequence human genomes for about 5,000 dollars in about an hour or a half-hour; you will see that happen in the next five years.
考虑一下计算机工业的历史 从最初的大块头计算机到如今的小型电脑 在此过程中计算机的运算能力和速度也得到了巨大的提高 如今同样的事情也发生在基因组测序上 最尖端的技术正在研究 在一个小时或者半小时的时间里花费5000美元来测人类基因组 在未来5年内这项技术将成为现实
