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