AI Summary

A cost-effective approach to genome sequencing has been developed by researchers at the Broad Institute. This method, known as the Blended Genome Exome (BGE), significantly reduces the expense of sequencing by 75%. This reduction in cost has made it more feasible for large-scale genetic studies to be conducted. The BGE approach is now widely used at the Broad Institute, indicating its potential for widespread adoption in genetics research. The availability of a more affordable genome sequencing method could facilitate further research into the genetic roots of various diseases, including mental illness.
