Fisheye Perspective: Yes, Very few individual human genomes have been fully sequenced

    Presumably once the 1000 genomes project is complete then we have a 1000 :). Without saying who and how, I know of at least three more unpublished ones.

    The number of complete human genomes sequenced is far higher than that. The "1000 genomes" project is now spitting two genomes a day. Of course I am talking of only 1X. Furthermore, this is high-speed sequencing, and therefore the accuracy is much lower. And we are no talking of assembled, annotated genomes. But still. Gattaca is here. One rough genome sequence can now be obtained in a few hours for a cost of a few hundreds dollars ... provided you invested a few millions in a sequencing centre :-)

    In the next year, there should be at least 150 more genomes sequenced (specifically "cancer genomes") by The Genome Center at Washington University. See a write up from one of my colleagues: http://bit.ly/18rcL3
