| Abstract: | Just over two decades ago, in October 2004, the first complete sequence of the Human Genome was published (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2004). It was the culmination of a massive and expensive collaboration between 20 sequencing centres across the world, spanning more than a decade of work and at an estimated cost of over €2.5 billion. This first complete genome build made available the sequence of 92% of the 3 billion nucleotides that make up a human genome. |
