The publication of Moore's Law is less a direct cause and more a reference point for tracking genome sequencing costs, like using a household budget template before you've actually tracked any spending. While the National Human Genome Research Institute might have used it as a comparison ratio, say, a 2x improvement every two years, the real cost reductions depend on separate scientific breakthroughs and funding levels. If research grants were cut by 50% for five years, the actual cost trend would diverge significantly from any theoretical Moore's Law projection, illustrating a weak informational link.
