Current state of genome sequencing technologies worldwide. A) The distribution of developed and developing countries. The developing countries of high R&D spending are Brazil, China, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Serbia, Tunisia and Turkey. B) Genome sequencing projects per country. C) Genome sequencing centers per country. The insert in B shows the correlation between numbers of genome sequencing centers and the numbers of sequenced genomes per country. The analysis was performed based on data from GOLD and World Bank (see text).
