Now imagine a future where a successor to Venter is able to digitally reconstruct a set of the best
possible sequences of human genomes and incorporate them, in pieces, into bacteria that could autonomously reproduce the sequences.

In - depth analysis
of the
human body's microflora has been
possible only in the past few years — a by - product
of the same new gene
sequencing techniques that have allowed scientists to cheaply and accurately identify the DNA
of the
human genome.
The
sequencing of the
human genome has made it
possible: nowadays scientists can discover potential disorders for which there are no known patients.
In the post-genomic era, we are witnessing significant advances in the functional decipherment
of the
human genome sequence that have been made
possible by new technological developments in the field
of genomic medicine.
Looking ahead to when all
of our
genomes have been analyzed and tools exist for precise editing
of HARs in
human cells, it seems
possible to figure out what happened when each
of these evolutionarily conserved
sequences suddenly mutated in
humans.
Interface
of Genomics Research and Genomic Medicine Recent advances in DNA
sequencing technologies mean that it is now
possible to conduct genomic analyses, including analysis
of the entire
genome of an individual
human, that just a few years ago would have been too costly and slow.
