“The 10,000 long-read whole genomes will bring a new dimension of insight into the genetics of the Estonian population and push us closer to the Biobank’s goal of realising health benefits for people locally and internationally. To date, the samples for the Biobank have been genotyped using microarray-based methods.

One of the reasons is because researchers now have far more genetic data to work with than was ever previously possible. The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100.

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have led to significant developments in healthcare-focused research on precision medicine and diagnostics. Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. Figure below presents steps of direct-to-consumer nutrigenomic testing.

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.
