Description:
This global, incentivized competition will inspire breakthrough genome sequencing innovations and technologies with the potential to create a new era of personalized medicine. $10 million will be awarded to the first team to rapidly, accurately and economically sequence 100 whole human genomes to an unprecedented level of accuracy.
The 100 human genomes to be sequenced in this competition will be donated by 100 centenarians (ages 100 or older) from all over the world, known as there 100 Over 100. Sequencing the genomes of the 100 Over 100 presents a unique opportunity to identify those "rare genes" that protect against disease, while giving researchers valuable clues to health and longevity.
