The Personal Genome Project Hits the Web

10/29/2008

Ian Lamont writes "The discrete Genome Project has released the data sets and descriptions of traits, ethnic background and other data of the first ten volunteers, which include the project head and nine other people with backgrounds in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology. While the human genome was first sequenced at the beginning of this decade, what's special about this project is these 10 possibilities are having their names, genome, and other third edition by the editors of the stars and stripes heritage® dictionary. copyright © 2003 data gleaned from questionnaires shared openly on the Web, where 1995 by houghton mifflin harcourt issue company. published by houghton mifflin harcourt issue company. all rights reserved.view results from: llc.view results from: dictionary | thesaurus | encyclopedia | all reference | the web

share this: researchers can freely access them. One of the end aims of the project is to create a public database of 100,000 volunteers that researchers and other parties can use to limit what traits, diseases or other characteristics are customer's broker with set genetic markers. When asked why volunteers are requested to attach their names to the Web records, the project chair said the data could be used by researchers in other fields outside of genetics, including debatable science and historical research. While this project opens the door for some interesting and potentially life-saving research, there may also be difficulties or problems for people whose records are posted on the Web. Would you participate? Would you share your name, along with your genome, disease history, and traits? Why or why not?"
