There exist a number of competitions and prizes to reward distinguished contributions and to encourage developments in biotechnology. ==Inducement prizes== * The Archon X Prize for Genomics of US$10,000,000 is to be awarded to "the first Team that can build a device and use it to sequence 100 human genomes within 10 days or less, with an accuracy of no more than one error in every 100,000 bases sequenced, with sequences accurately covering at least 98% of the genome, and at a recurring cost of no more than $10,000 (US) per genome." * The Prize4Life ALS biomarker prize is a US$1,000,000 award for a reliable way of tracking progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). * The Prize4Life ALS treatment prize is a US$1,000,000 award for a therapy that reliably and effectively extends the life of ALS mice by 25%. * People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is offering a US$1,000,000 reward for a method of producing enough meat to be marketed in 10 U.S. states at a price competitive with chicken prices.〔http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-04-22-peta_N.htm〕〔http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2008/04/21/lab-meat-tastes-like-a-million-bucks.aspx〕 * Illumina iDEA Challenge〔http://www.illumina.com/landing/idea/〕 to develop new visualization and data analysis techniques. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Competitions and prizes in biotechnology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
