[QUOTE=ijt.dolora@gmail.com;271076][B][U]Name of the Organisation [/U][/B]: Archon Genomics (genomics.xprize.org) [B][U]Type of Announcement [/U][/B]: Archon Genomics X Prize [B][U]Home Page [/U][/B]: genomics.xprize.org [B][U]Event Location [/U][/B]: Online [B][U]Event Date [/U][/B]: 04 Oct 2013 [CENTER][B]The Archon Genomics X PRIZE presented by Express Scripts[/B] [/CENTER] This is a prize about all of us. This global, incentivized competition will inspire breakthrough genome sequencing innovations and technologies with the potential to create a new era of personalized medicine. $10 million will be awarded to the first team to rapidly, accurately and economically sequence 100 whole human genomes to an unprecedented level of accuracy. The 100 human genomes to be sequenced in this competition will be donated by 100 centenarians (ages 100 or older) from all over the world, known as there 100 Over 100. Sequencing the genomes of the 100 Over 100 presents a unique opportunity to identify those "rare genes" that protect against disease, while giving researchers valuable clues to health and longevity.

The primary role of the Validation Protocol is to enable the X PRIZE Foundation to declare a winner of the $10 Million Competition in February 2013 without controversy. In addition we are working with key stakeholders to establish the Validation Protocol as a global, consensus-driven "medical grade" standard for genomic-based medicine [B][U]More details get here [/U][/B]: [URL]http://genomics.xprize.org/competition-details/prize-overview[/URL][/QUOTE]
