One Man, One Genome

Craig Ventner will go down in history as heading the project that first sequenced a human genome- his own. That took years and billions , but on its heels comes the announcement in Nature that a Houston consortium has used massively parallel sequencing to put DNA discoverer  James Watson on the map. The real news is the cost- only millions. It should fall within range of personal genetic medicine, tuned to your unique make up- including the hundred or more pre-conception DNA mutations that happen en route to you.
