Human Genome

  1. Lander ES. Initial impact of the sequencing of the human genome. Nature. 2011 Feb 10;470(7333):187-97. PubMed PMID: 21307931.
      Eric is one of the leaders in the human genome sequencing project. In this review that celebrates the publication of human genome sequence 10 years ago, he highlights major discoveries at all levels, from how we understand gene, genome structure and regulation, to how we understand
      disease, map disease genes, find better treatments and to the evolution of human kind. This is an article that you can’t miss if you are serious about studying biology.
