Illumina: "1 terabase in 6 days = 10 human genomes in 6 days" (Tb: 10 to the twelfth base pairs)

When we talk about next-gen gene sequencing, we talk about the amount of genetic sequence data, expressed in base pairs (bp). The growth has been exponential, and it is not gonna stop!
Base pairs (bp) < kilo base pairs (Kb: thousands of bp) < megabases (Mb: millions of bases)... up to 1 terabase (Tb: 10 to the twelfth bp)!

 By the way, there are no Illumina HiSeq® in Europe...
