Archon Genomics X PRIZE

The $10M Archon Genomics X PRIZE presented by Express Scripts, (AGXP) will be awarded to the first team to rapidly sequence 100 genomes in 30 days (or less) per human genome. The winner of the AGXP will usher in a new era of medicine by significantly reducing the time and cost of providing high-quality, whole-genome human sequences; thus, the AGXP will be a catalyst for less expensive technology, improved accuracy, and increased public access. This translates into a watershed event for patients seeking whole-genome sequencing and the dawn of a new medical revolution characterized by highly predictive and personalized medicine.
