linked to by 3Lookie here -- they've sequenced Craig Venter's genome. What did they learn about Craig? Well, he's European. He has 46 chromosomes. He's got some structural differences from the reference genome. He also differs from the reference genome by insertions and...
Wow, what a day for personal genetics. Yesterday, J. Craig Venter’s diploid genome was released (I’m not sure where the sequence is, but the paper is available at PLoS Biology, a OPEN ACCESS journal!).I know that many people have their gripe about...
CNN is covering Dr. J Craig Venter’s genome extensively. Over at Anderson Cooper Blog 360, Dr. J. Craig Venter blogs about his DNA. CNN also reports that Dr. Venter’s genome shows he has genes that are linked to blindness, alcoholism, lactose intolerance,...
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...
Today, Craig Venter published his genome sequence in the journal PLoS Biology, along with a self-portrait so large, in the journal's 'Synopsis' version, that this startled reader recoiled with fright. Sheesh. Science should be soothing...first you have your...
In a fascinating collaborative look at Craig Venter's genome, scientists at four institutions looked at SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and non-SNP DNA variants.In doing so, the scientists estimate that humans generally share 99% of the genome, rather...
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,...
