How to get genomes at one ten-thousandththe cost
The NHGRI's Advanced DNA Sequencing Technology program is spearheading the development of platforms that will bring routine whole-genome sequencing closer to reality. A commentary by Jeff Schloss, Ph.D.Chief, Genome Technology Program
October 2008:
The potential and challenges of nanopore sequencing
A nanopore-based device provides single-molecule detection and analytical capabilities that are achieved by electrophoretically
driving molecules in solution through a nano-scale pore. By

The Genome Gets Personal - Almost
There are many rapid advances in personalized medicine to celebrate. But if the goal is to take full advantage of these discoveries, it is far too early to declare victory. A great deal of complex, groundbreaking, and multidisciplinary research is still needed before personal genomics reaches the mainstream of medicine.

Mapping the Cancer Genome
In the March issue of Scientific American, Former NHGRI Director Francis S. Collins and Deputy Director for Advanced Technologies and Strategic Partnerships of the National Cancer Institute Anna D. Barker find that pinpointing the genes involved in cancer will help chart a new course across the complex landscape of human malignancies.

Key Internet Genetics Resources for the Clinician [jama.ama-assn.org]
As genomic information and genetic tests become more integrated into medical care, physicians need to know how to access genetic information and resources for their patients. Key Internet Genetics Resources for the Clinician can be used to find information about genetic factors in health and in specific diseases, supportive resources for patients, family history tools, genetic testing, state laws on use of genetic information for insurance and employment, and directories of genetics clinics and genetics professionals.

Educating health-care professionals about genetics and genomics
NHGRI Acting Director and NHGRI Deputy Director Dr. Allen Guttmacher, et al, find that although genetics and genomics have transformed biomedical research, advances in the genomic literacy of healthcare providers is required to have an effect
on clinical practice that is comparable to the impact on research. A Perspectives piece for Nature Reviews/Genetics.

How to Interpret a Genome-Wide Association Study [jama.ama-assn.org]
GWA studies are many steps removed from actual clinical use, and specific applications of GWA findings in prevention and treatment are actively being pursued. These studies mainly represent a valuable discovery tool for examining genomic function and clarifying pathophysiologic mechanisms. This article describes the design, interpretation, application, and limitations of GWA studies for clinicians and scientists for whom this evolving science may have great relevance.
