Personal Genome Project Could Unlock the Mysteries of Life
FirstDiggImagine that we could collect complete sets of data - genotype and phenotype - for a whole population. You would very quickly begin to see meaningful and powerful correlations between particular genetic sequences and particular physical characteristics, from height and hair color to disease risk and personality. The Personal Genome Project has begun to explore this.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. This could make for a lot of good in the name of science, but also has the potential for misuse. We shall see!
What do you think? Digg in the name of science :)
