Price Decline in Decoding the Human Genome

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)

Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

The complete decoding of the human genome has been realised, but the procedure is still rather costly. Nevertheless, it is only a matter of time until techniques of decoding the human genome have become fast, cheap and therefore affordable.

Keywords

human genome, decoding, price decline, price, genes

Signal's first apperance

2000-2005

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...

	issue	type of issue/development	potential impact on society	timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1	WI: Everyone`s genome or specific parts of intrest of the genome can be easily decoded.	new/emerging	neutral	now-2025

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

high acceptance for the decoding within the population; success in diagnosis and therapy of genetic deseases
