Still waiting for it to happen...
Background:
Background: The Archon X PRIZE for Genomics, the second X PRIZE to be offered by the X PRIZE Foundation, based in Santa Monica, California, was announced on October 4, 2006. The Archon X PRIZE in genomics is a joint effort of the X PRIZE Foundation and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation.
The $10 million prize (US), donated by diamond prospector Stewart Blusson, is to be awarded to "the first Team that can build a device and use it to sequence 100 human genomes within 10 days or less, with an accuracy of no more than one error in every 100,000 bases sequenced, with sequences accurately covering at least 98% of the genome, and at a recurring cost of no more than $10,000 (US) per genome."
