Features
At CSHL Conference, US, UK Genome Centers Present Human Genome Resequencing Data
While the 1,000 Genomes Project has so far generated more than 300 gigabases of data from its pilot projects, which involve 454’s, Illumina’s and ABI’s sequencing platforms, several genome centers have sequenced cancer genomes using short-read technologies.

Neandertal, Bonobo Genomes May Shed Light On Human Evolution; MPI, 454 Preparing Drafts
At the Biology of Genomes meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory last week, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig presented updates and initial results from two such projects, both involving 454’s sequencing technology: one aiming to decipher the Neandertal genome and the other to sequence the genome of the bonobo, a close cousin of the chimpanzee.
