Alex Tabarrok expects personalized medicine to take off:
The costs of sequencing are falling so rapidly it will soon make sense for everyone to carry their entire genetic code with them on a USB drive (23andme only identifies part of the code). In 2001 it cost Craig Venter $100,000,000 to sequence the first human genome (his own.) Today, it costs just $16,000; in a few years, it will cost less than $1,000–a 100,000-factor decrease in costs in less than two decades!
