<p>Billion Genome Project (BGP) is the genome project to sequence and analyze 7 billion people on Earth (i.e., every human being on Earth).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Technological advancement: sequencing technology that can do 7 billion people</p>
<p>2. Computing power to analyze 7 billion genomes in one session.</p>
<p>3. Storage space to store 7 billion genomes and their secondary analysis outputs.</p>
<p>4. Bioinformatics algorithms and systems to analyze them.</p>
<p>5. User interface to search and use 7 billion genome sequences and bioinformatic results.</p>
