The data has been posted at Sweden's Uppsala University's Website here for bioinformatics boffins to play with. The university's SciLifeLab …
about the diversity of the human phenotype, it is clear we need more genomes.
We also need a much greater understanding of cellular differentiation and epigenetic modulaion, so more experiments...
In principle, we should all have our genomes as part of our medical records, and eventually we will be able to workout the information that is diagnostically useful.
