Number of sequenced human genomes doubles Thursday, 06 November 2008 This week, three reports describe the first African, the first Asian, and the first cancer patient to have their entire DNA deciphered. The sequences provide clues about genome variation and disease; they also demonstrate the potential of a relatively new sequencing technique to mass-produce human genomes. Scientists have sequenced the entire gene maps of two men, one Chinese and the other African, for a fraction of the price that such exercises used to cost. The Chinese project cost US$500,000, down from what had cost hundreds of millions of dollars when the sequencing of the first human genome was completed in 2004. Another team of scientists, led by David Bentley of Illumina Cambridge Ltd, sequenced the gene map of the African man and described the process as "low cost." The third group sequenced the complete DNA of a female suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and identified a limited, but new set of genes responsible for this severe type of cancer. This is the second comlete female genome to be reported. The teams published their findings in separate articles in the science journal Nature.
