The Love Canal Story Is Not Finished

Love Canal became a household word 30 years ago when outraged residents, led by Lois Gibbs and the Love Canal Homeowners Association, demanded attention to the apparent adverse effects of hazardous waste exposures on their children's health (Boston University School of Public Health 2004). Love Canal was evacuated between 1978 and 1980, and property owners were compensated in the first such wid...

Should the draft chimpanzee sequence be finished?

Owing to the availability of genome working drafts (WDs), current comparative-sequence studies are frequently performed on a genome-wide scale. In this article, we appraise the utility of WD sequences in the detection of genomic differences in closely related species. We compared human DNA sequences with draft and high-quality versions of the corresponding chimpanzee loci to reveal the overall ...

Quality Control of Finished Products

The quality of finished products is basic for consumers. Food products must first of all be safe and without danger for consumer health. They must also fulfill consumer requirements, both sensory and nutritional. Consumers have to be convinced that the control system applied guarantees the declared quality of the products. Therefore, proper labeling of products is important. The labeling has to...

Returning to more finished genomes

Genomic data have become commonplace in most branches of the biological sciences and have fundamentally altered the way research is conducted. However, the predominance of short-read sequence data from second-generation sequencing technologies has commonly resulted in fragmented and partial genomic data characteristics. In this opinion, I will highlight how long, unbiased reads from single mole...
