The human genome has 3.2  109 nucleotide pairs. At its peak, the Human Genome Project was generating raw nucleotide sequences at a rate of 1000 nucleotides per second.
 
  At the rate of 1000 nucleotides per second, how long would it take to generate 3.2  109 nucleotides of sequence?

It would take approximately 37 days; 60 seconds/minute means 86400 seconds in a day. At peak rate, you can obtain 86,400,000 nucleotides per day.
