A More Detailed Genome

| Researchers now know more about Craig Venter than ever before. Or, at least, the part of him that's defined by his genes. A paper published this week in the journal PLOS Biology reveals the genetic sequence from both sets of chromosomes making up Venter's genome. Though the Human Genome Project was completed several years ago, the new work provides a much more detailed look at the genetics of an individual. We'll talk about the work, and what it means for the field of genetics research. |
