View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Over the past decade, genomic medicine has rapidly expanded from single gene testing to include next- generation sequencing (NGS) tests, such as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), that reveal extensive genomic information. During this same time period, the technical cost of sequencing a genome has fallen from over $30 million in 2003 to approximately $1,000 in 2016. VA and the nation are making significant investments in the research infrastructure needed to accelerate the translation of new genomic... |
