摘要: The differences between countries in national income, growth, human development and many other factors are used to classify into developed developing countries. There several classification systems that use different sets of measures criteria. most common classifications the United Nations (UN) World Bank (WB) systems. UN system uses Human Development Index (HDI), an indicator statistic life expectancy, education, income per capita for countries' classification. While WB gross (GNI) is calculated using Atlas method. According systems, there 151 134 countries, respectively, with 89% overlap two Developing have limited development, expenditure education research, among limitations. biggest challenge facing genomic researchers clinicians resources. As a result, tools, specifically genome sequencing technologies, which rapidly becoming indispensable, not widely available. In this report, we explore current status technologies describe associated challenges emphasize potential solutions.
