Cost per base of sequencing and synthesis.
A graph shows rough estimates of the cost of synthesis of DNA oligos and entire genes and raw sequencing per base. Only very limited data are available through 2003. Estimates of synthesis costs are from John Mulligan, Blue Heron Biotechnology. Historical costs of sequencing are generally not available in the literature, have not been publicized by federally funded Genome Centers, and are, in general, surprisingly hard to find.

The Human Genome project set out to sequence all of the 3 billion nucleotides in the human genome. Exactly how was this daunting task done with such incredible speed and accuracy?
