To much acclaim, J. Craig Venter’s genome was published today in PLoS Biology: The Diploid Genome Sequence of an Individual Human. Huntington F. Willard, a geneticist at Duke University, is calling Craig Venter’s newly published genome sequence...
Yes, it was published today at PLoS Biology:The Diploid Genome Sequence of an Individual HumanWe have generated an independently assembled diploid human genomic DNA sequence from both chromosomes of a single individual (J. Craig Venter)… Comparison with...
The Diploid Genome Sequence of an Individual Human Levy, S. et al. (2007) PLoS Biol 5(10): e254We have generated an independently assembled diploid human genomic DNA sequence from both chromosomes of a single individual (J. Craig Venter). One man’s genes...
Via: New York Times and PLoS BiologyThe race to decode the human genome may not be entirely over: the loser has come up with a new approach that may let him prevail in the end. In 2003, a government-financed consortium of academic centers announced it had completed...
...that is, if you still think that a genome sequence tells all secrets about someone's success in science etc. ;-) But the new paper actually uses his personal genome to do some nifty stuff, as this is the first time a genome containing the sequences from...
If you’re anything like J. Craig Venter (pictured), there are about four million differences between the set of genes you inherited from your mother and the set you inherited from your father. That number — included in a paper published in the online...
Check out Dienekes' post on a preprint AJHG paper. The authors discuss the acertainment bias in the markers chosen for HapMap and Perlegen. They resequenced "the exons and flanking regions of 3,873 genes in 154 chromosomes from European, Latino/Hispanic, Asian,...
Genome rearrangements are fast becoming one of the most interesting aspects of comparative genomics (I may be slightly biased in my perspective). We have known for quite some time that genomes of different species (and even within species) differ by inversions...
