A Genome in Any Format

In a recent post, Andrew Yates asked, "How much data is a human genome?" He then did a little math to show that an uncompressed diploid human genome would easily fit on two music CDs, if stored as a text file. That got Genetic Future's Daniel MacArthur thinking. There are, he says, other formats that a human genome could be stored in, including as images from an Illumina machine. In that format, a genome with 30x coverage would take up about 28.80 terabytes. Also, if the sequence data is stored as a Sequence Read Format file, the storage space'll top out at 1.98 terabytes.

Researchers Produce First Sequence Map of Large-Scale Structural Variation in Human Genome

A nationwide team of researchers, funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has produced the first sequence-based map of large-scale structural variation across the human genome. The work, published in the journal "Nature", provides a starting point to examine how such DNA variation contributes to human health and disease.

First Draft of Oil Palm Genome Completed by Synthetic Genomics Inc and Asiatic Centre for Genome Technology

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and LA JOLLA, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Asiatic Centre for Genome Technology Sdn Bhd (ACGT), which is focused on the commercial application of genome technology to improve oil palm and other crops and Synthetic Genomics Inc. (SGI), a privately held company dedicated to commercializing genomic-driven solutions to address global energy and environmental challenges, today announced the completion of a first draft assembly and annotation of the oil palm genome. The organizations also announced that they have made progress in sequencing and analyzing the jatropha genome. The oil palm and jatropha genome projects represent the first stages of research undertaken through a joint venture between SGI and ACGT which was announced in 2007 and is aimed at developing more high-yielding and disease-resistant plant feedstocks

Me and my genome

BACK in 2002, before the $3 billion Human Genome Project was even complete, some biologists began to talk of sequencing the entire genome of any individual for just $1000. While DNA sequencing is getting ever cheaper and faster, we are not quite there yet: about a tenth of the human genome remains impossible to sequence with existing methods.

Platypus genome unravels mysteries of mammalian evolution

Genome Research is publishing several papers related to analyses of the duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) genome sequence. The place of (egg-laying) monotremes, such as the platypus, in mammalian evolutionary history has remained controversial. Now, researchers are finding that the distinctive anatomical and physiological properties of the platypus are reflected in the newly sequenced platypus genome. Through comparative genomics, the platypus genome is providing remarkable insights into the evolution of venom components, the sex-determination system, testicular descent, and small RNA pathways. Primary research reports describing these novel insights will appear online May 8, concurrent with publication of the platypus genome sequence report in the journal Nature.

8 new human genome projects offer large-scale picture of genetic difference

A nationwide consortium led by the University of Washington in Seattle has completed the first sequence-based map of structural variations in the human genome, giving scientists an overall picture of the large-scale differences in DNA between individuals. The project gives researchers a guide for further research into these structural differences, which are believed to play an important role in human health and disease. The results appear in the May 1 issue of the journal Nature.

New Map Reveals Dynamic Variation In Human Genome

A team of researchers led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Evan E. Eichler at the University of Washington has produced the first high-resolution map showing the structural variation that exists in the human genome. With the map, researchers can now begin to see how the underlying structure of one person's genome differs from that of another.

Baylor College Of Medicine To Use Applied Biosystems Genetic Analysis Technology As Part Of 1000 Genomes Project

Houston, TX - Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC), USA, will use high throughput sequencing systems from Applied Biosystems , an Applera Corporation business, for a significant part of their contribution to the first pilot phases of the 1000 Genomes Project, sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the Wellcome Trust and the Beijing Genome Institute. This project is a worldwide research effort that will involve the sequencing of 1,000 genomes from people from around the world to create the most detailed and medically useful picture to date of human genetic variation. The HGSC will acquire six SOLiD Systems in order to complete the work.

Genome Prairie Announces New President and CEO

SASKATOON/WINNIPEG, June 27 /CNW/ - Dr. Arnold Naimark, Chair of Genome Prairie's Board of Directors, announced today the appointment of Dr. Wilf Keller as the new President and CEO of Genome Prairie. "Dr. Keller's research experience, accomplishments and exemplary record of leadership at the National Research Council - Plant Biotechnology Institute make him the ideal choice for President and CEO," commented Dr. Naimark. Dr. Keller has held the position of Director of Research and, most recently, Acting Director General, at NRC-PBI. Dr. Keller's appointment comes at a very important time for Genome Prairie. Genome Canada's Applied Genomics Research in Bioproducts and Crops (ABC) Competition is currently underway and involves several crops and bioproducts researchers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Genome 'Trailblazer' Departs Institute

Francis Collins, the guitar-playing geneticist who mingled a belief in Christianity with a defense of evolution, said Wednesday that he would step down as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, where he led the historic effort to decode the human genome.
