The inner life of the genome
|
|
“Ten years ago publication of the human genome sequence gave the world a blueprint for a human being. But just as a list of automobile parts does not tell us how a car engine works, the complete genome sequence—a list of the DNA "letters" in all the chromosomes of the human cell—did not reveal how the genome directs our cells' day-to-day activities or allows an individual to develop from a fertilized egg into a functioning adult.”

Plucking a strand of genetic insight from the sea
|
|
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.
