Programming Life like a software: How Digital Biology Will Disrupt Everything?
<p>TheBio Revolution encompasses a range of fast-moving fields such as genomics, proteomics, cell engineering, and synthetic biology. As Huang notes, it’s flat out going to be one of the biggest technological shifts we’ve ever seen. According to experts, the economic impact will be on par with or even greater than advances like electricity, computers, the Internet, and AI.</p>
<p>One major way biology is being digitized is through efforts to map the human genome. Back in 1990, the Human Genome Project set out to sequence all 3 billion base pairs in human DNA. It took 13 years and $3 billion to produce the first draft. Today, an entire human genome can be sequenced in just one day for about $600. As costs have plummeted, over 100 million human genomes are expected to be sequenced by 2025.</p>
