What costs are exponentially dropping? I.E. dropping Solar panels, Body scan medicine, Chip costs. Cell phone tech?

Sorry I'll show myself the door.

#5Gene sequencing
the price of genome sequencing is no longer dropping exponentially. And when it was, it was heavily amortized across very expensive machines that masked the true costs.

This. The only current driver of cost reduction in genome sequencing at the moment is subsidization.

Huh, didn't know this. Surely the cost of the machines has to be included somehow in the cost per basepair?
