How much time and money has been spent on figuring out how to sequence the human genome? It was completed in 2001 and surprisingly humans only have ~25,000 genes. That's 3.5 billion bases. Nowadays many scientists are trying to do it faster and cheaper but to what avail? Even after a fast and cheap method of sequencing the human genome is developed we are many years away from knowing how it will cure diseases.
