Stephen Quake sequences first human genome on HeliScope
This Monday, Stephen Quake et al. published an article in Nature Biotechnology on the first human genome sequenced with a Single-Molecule Sequencing approach using Helicos’ platform.
The publication has garnered quite an amount of PR, being cited in both New York Times and The Independent, while the scientific community has blogged and twitted extensively on the subject.
We have assembled a small collection of links on the subject that are definitely worth reading!
