AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - May 26, 2008
The researchers at Leiden University Medical Center say they
have sequenced the DNA of one their researchers, geneticist
Marjolein Kriek. They plan to publish it after review. No other
scientists have verified their data.
The first sequencing of a composite human genome was announced
in 2001, followed by the first individual DNA sequencing in 2007.
Four individual male genomes have been sequenced.
Lead researcher Gert-Jan van Ommen said Monday that "it was
time, after sequencing four males, to balance the genders a bit."
