a research institute in Californiaa technology to map theof complete human genes in just four minutes
is coming soonWhen the technology matures
individuals can get a complete genetic map of their own for as little as $1,000, said Hughes Martin, chief executive of The Pacific Biosciences Institute in California,the technology will revolutionise theof humanhealthThe technology is now focused on research institutions to help scientists discover links between genes anddisease
and human behavior, he said" Mapping genes at a price that is fast enough and cheap enough can help us find many interesting problemsFor example, we can map the genes of 1,000 drug addicts and compare them to the genes of 1,000 ordinary people who are not addicted to drugs and see what the differences exist between the two," Martin saidTo advance gene mapping research, the U.S government and some private institutions have set up big bonuses to encourage researchers to develop fast and cheap gene mapping techniques , 2006, the California X Prize Foundation set up a $10 million bonus a reward for scientists or research institutes that first mapped the genes of 100 people within 10 days
