  (Virginia Tech) Turkey is the fourth most economically important source of meat for consumers in the United States. The genome sequence and genomic resources should provide turkey breeders with the tools needed to improve commercial breeds of turkey for production traits such as meat yield and quality, health and ...

• Targeted Sequencing Bags a Diagnosis

  
  Omics! Omics! — Authority: 113
  A nice complement to the one paper (Ng et al) I detailed last week is a paper that actually came out just before hand (Choi et al). Whereas the Ng paper used whole exome targeted sequencing to find the mutation for a previously unexplained rare genetic disease, the Choi et al paper used a similar scheme (though ...

• Maize Genome Very Complex

  
  The Sly Oyster | culture, entertainment, liberal arts, shenanigans — Authority: 444
  You wouldn’t think the genome sequencing for an ear of corn would turn out to be one of the most complex sequencing that scientists have concluded.  The reason for such complexity is that about 85 percent of its DNA is composed of transposable elements — segments of DNA that can move between locations.

• Three Blows Against the Tyranny of Expensive Experiments

  
  Omics! Omics! — Authority: 113
  Second generation sequencing is great, but one of its major issues so far is that the cost of one experiment is quite steep. Just looking at reagents, going from a ready-to-run library to sequence data is somewhere in the neighborhood of $10K-25K on 454, Illumina, Helicos or SOLiD (Im willing to take corrections on ...

• Targeted Sequencing Bags a Rare Disease

  
  Omics! Omics! — Authority: 113
  Nature Genetics on Friday released the paper from Jay Shendure, Debra Nickerson and colleagues which used targeted sequencing to identify the damaged gene in a rare Mendelian disorder, Miller syndrome. The work had been presented at least in part at recent meetings, but now all of us can digest it in entirety. The ...

• A 10,201 Genomes Project

  
  Omics! Omics! — Authority: 113
  With valuable information emerging from the 1000 (human) genomes project and now a proposal for a 10,000 vertebrate genome project , its well past time to expose to public scrutiny a project Ive been spitballing for a while, which I now dub the 10,201 genomes project. Why that? Well, first its a bigger number ...

• How much would you pay to see your future?

  
  Blogging the Singularity — Authority: 139
  My dad used to say technology is advancing so quickly that, by the time a product reaches market, it is already obsolete. Moreover, if you wait just a little longer, you can pay a lot less. The sequencing of the human genome takes the advancement of technology, and its fast reduction in cost, to an entirely new level. ...

  Futurismic — Authority: 624
  The title says it all, really; Californian biotech company Complete Genomics has announced publicly that it has… … sequenced three human genomes for an average cost of $4,400. The most recently sequenced genome–which happens to be that of genomics pioneer George Church–cost just $1,500 in chemicals, the ...

• First Case of Diagnosis by Whole Genome Sequencing

  
  Singularity Hub — Authority: 577
  For the first time, researchers at Yale have used whole genome sequencing to make a clinical diagnosis. A doctor has some tried and true methods of helping her diagnose a disease: examining the lymph nodes, taking your temperature, that whole “turn your head and cough” thing. Now, we need to add one more: whole ...
