X-Prize Offered For Human Genome Sequencing

How about this as a new boinc project?

I've got absolutely NFI what's involved in sequencing the human genome - but doing it for 100 people is only 100 times bigger/harder. Break it into small enough wu's though and we can crunch it, surely.

with a few $million as the prize? hell yea! i reckon we could get thru it at lightning speed, months maybe
i'm guessing they haven't heard of dictributed computing yet they could certainly use the money
