G10K in the News: Hearing on "The state of research infrastructure at U.S. Universities"
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Computing has become an integral part of the fabric of experimental and theoretical science. All but the simplest laboratory experiments are performed under computer control, the data is analyzed using software running on a personal computer or small compute cluster, and the results compared with the latest theories through computational simulations on high performance computers. ... The proposed Genome 10K project is an example of the future of genomic research.

G10K in the News: Sequencing's new race: $1000 or bust.
Thursday, February 25, 2010
In 2004, the Revolutionary Genome Sequencing Technology funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invited companies to submit grant applications describing novel ways to reduce the cost of sequencing a human genome to $1000. Since then, the funding opportunity has been renewed as the $1000 Genome Initiative, emphasizing the goal that will revolutionize human genomic research.
