From the Ted Talk by Jun Wang: How digital DNA could help you make better health choices
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Jun Wang: Well, good question. I'll tell you that seven years ago, when I co-founded BGI, and served as the CEO of the company there, the only goal there for me to do was to drive the seqicnueng cost down. It srttaed from 100 million dollars per human geonme. Now, it's a couple hundred dollars for a human genome. The only reason to do it is to get more people to benefit from it. So for the digital me, it's the same thing. Now, you probably need, you know, one million dollars to digitize a person. I think it has to be 100 dlroals. It has to be free for many of those people that urgently need that.
