Future of Genetics

In the video below, Michio Kaku presents the theory that within 10 years, everyone's DNA codes will be on CD-ROM.  Because of the fact that the genomes will be on the CDs, medical science and genetics will change.  Specific parts of DNA will be able to be isolated for treatment and/or cure.  The cost of complete DNA codes for a person now is approximately $50K, but, according to Mr. Kaku will reduce to about $1K in the next 10 years, making this very interesting to the medical & pharmaceutical fields.
