One thousand genomes, coming right up!
An international consortium has announced plans to sequence 1000 genomes from individuals from all over the globe.
This endeavor was creatively titled The 1000 Genome Project and will have the collaboration of an international team of researchers from various institutes around the world.
A project this grand is estimated to cost somewhere between 30 and 50 million US dollars. So, the project will receive financial support from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (UK), the Beijing Genomics Institute (China) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (US).
Anyhow, I’m interested to know if this has anything to do with the personal genome project. I couldn’t find any reference to Dr. George Church though.
