An ambitious EC-funded research initiative on epigenetics advancing towards systems biology

from Nature News Blogs, Published 11 October, 2012

Personal genome sequencing companies have taken advantage of the decrease in the cost of DNA sequencing and the emergence of new sequencing technologies (which are in fact used by many EpiGeneSys labs), making it possible for anyone willing to spend a couple of thousand dollars to have their entire genome sequenced. But are you ready for all of that information? Dr. Chris Gunter speaks about her experiences having her genome sequenced, and it's not all doom and gloom.

High-throuhput DNA sequencing technology allows researchers to pluck out euryarchaeota's genome from a broth of seawater.
High-throughput sequencing has enabeled many recent research breakthroughs by EpiGeneSys members (and the wider research community). Here, it's been used to sequence the genome of Euryarchaeota, one of the archaea, a class of micro-organisms that were once thought to be bacteria but are actually quite distinct.
