The limiting factor to getting genetic information is the speed and/or cost of genome sequencing

The human genome can be sequenced rapidly and effectively thanks to new technology. It took the 1990-starting human genome project 13 years and $2.7 billion to sequence the first human genome. The cost to sequence a human genome now is less than $10,000 and takes a few days. Obtaining genetic data is no longer constrained by speed or expense.

The analysis of the genome is the most difficult task now that we have the knowledge. Sequence information is essentially a very long string of the DNA building units A, T, G, and C. Bioinformaticists are academics that specialize in the analysis of this data.

To learn which genes are responsible for certain traits and how genes interact, researchers utilize computer systems. In the end, we want to know what each of the roughly 22,000 genes in the human genome does.
