The name "Archon" is the name of Blusson's company, which refers to the type of lithosphere beneath northern Canada. Upon cancellation, the money was returned to the Blussons because no Master Team Agreements were in place. The Archon X Prize in genomics began as a joint effort of the X Prize Foundation and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation.[2][3][4] The J. Craig Venter Science Foundation offered the $500,000 (US) Innovation in Genomics Science and Technology Prize in September 2003 aimed at stimulating development of less expensive and faster sequencing technology. To attract even more resources to this goal, Dr. Venter joined forces with the X Prize Foundation, wrapping his competition and prize purse into a later incarnation, The Archon Genomics X Prize presented by Express Scripts. Test genomesThe 100 human genomes to be sequenced in this competition were donated by 100 centenarians (ages 100 or older) from all over the world, known as the 100 Over 100. Sequencing the genomes of the 100 Over 100 presented an unprecedented opportunity to identify those "rare genes" that protect against diseases, while giving researchers valuable clues to health and longevity. These centenarians’ genes would provide us with a window to the past, significantly impacting the future of healthcare. Although the contest is cancelled, the X PRIZE foundation collected blood samples and created cell-lines to preserve the DNA from more than 100 centenarians. Those genomes are expected to be sequenced nonetheless and put into an open data forum. TeamsThe only two pre-registered teams were Ion Torrent in Guilford, CT and Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in Boston MA. These teams were announced 23-Jul-2012 and 3-Oct-2012.[4][5] SignificanceThe result was going to be the world's first "medical grade” genome, a critically needed clinical standard that would transform genomic research into usable medical information to improve patient diagnosis and treatment. This global competition was expected to inspire breakthrough genome sequencing innovations and technologies that would usher in a new era of personalized medicine. The evaluation phase of the competition was officially set to begin on September 5, 2013, and conclude 30 days later on October 5, but was canceled August 22, 2013 because it was "outpaced by innovation".[6] A public debate concerning the validity and potential implications of the cancellation was published March 27, 2014.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web | title=The Archon Genomics XPRIZE presented by Express Scripts -- Overview | url=http://genomics.xprize.org/competition-details/prize-overview}} {{Challenges by the X PRIZE Foundation|state=uncollapsed}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite journal | last1 = Kedes | first1 = L. | last2 = Campany | first2 = G. | doi = 10.1038/ng.988 | title = The new date, new format, new goals and new sponsor of the Archon Genomics X PRIZE Competition | journal = Nature Genetics | volume = 43 | issue = 11 | pages = 1055–1058 | year = 2011 | pmid = 22030612| pmc = }} 3. ^{{Cite journal | last1 = Kedes | first1 = L. | last2 = Liu | first2 = E. | last3 = Jongeneel | first3 = C.
