The Personal Genome Project
Large potential benefits for systems biology reside in applications to human health and identity. To develop our commu-nity's skills in these directions, ready access to highly integrated and comprehensive human genome and phenome data sets is extremely important and increasingly feasible technically. The few human 'functional genomics' data sets available today tend to be isolated from one ano...
متن کاملPersonal genomes in progress: from the Human Genome Project to the Personal Genome Project
The cost of a diploid human genome sequence has dropped from about $70M to $2000 since 2007--even as the standards for redundancy have increased from 7x to 40x in order to improve call rates. Coupled with the low return on investment for common single-nucleotide polylmorphisms, this has caused a significant rise in interest in correlating genome sequences with comprehensive environmental and tr...
متن کاملThe Personal Rover Project
In this paper, I summarize a new approach for the dissemination of robotics technologies. In a manner analagous to the personal computer movement of the early 1980’s, we propose that a productive niche for robotic technologies is as a creative outlet for human expression and discovery. This paper describes our ongoing efforts to design, prototype and test a lowcost, highly competent personal ro...
متن کاملPsychological and behavioural impact of returning personal results from whole-genome sequencing: the HealthSeq project
Providing ostensibly healthy individuals with personal results from whole-genome sequencing could lead to improved health and well-being via enhanced disease risk prediction, prevention, and diagnosis, but also poses practical and ethical challenges. Understanding how individuals react psychologically and behaviourally will be key in assessing the potential utility of personal whole-genome sequ...
متن کاملEyes wide open: the personal genome project, citizen science and veracity in informed consent.
I am a close observer of the Personal Genome Project (PGP) and one of the original ten participants. The PGP was originally conceived as a way to test novel DNA sequencing technologies on human samples and to begin to build a database of human genomes and traits. However, its founder, Harvard geneticist George Church, was concerned about the fact that DNA is the ultimate digital identifier - in...
