RE: The newly announced Earth BioGenome Project is aiming to sequence, catalog, and characterize the DNA of all living eukaryotes on Earth!
Its good news @valth
The Human Genome Project took time because of the less advanced machines. But now we have more advanced sequencers which will help it complete fast, but yeah sequencing every species is really something big..... Let's see.
Yeah, it will be a lot faster to sequence a genome with today's tools, but 1.5 million is just a huge number! But it will most likely all depend on how many universities and other institutions that ends up joining the project I suppose.
