Science 2010;327:78–81.4Even 30 years ago, it was obvious that Sanger sequencing had limited throughput, and a more efficient process could replace many tedious gene and genome mapping projects. It would take until the mid-2000s for massively parallel sequencing (MPS)5 technologies to demonstrate they could overtake the Sanger sequencing hegemony. Our paper was not the first description of a viable MPS technology, but it firmly established that human whole genome sequencing (WGS) could be done affordably (
