Dutch scientists claim 1st sequencing of woman's DNA
Dutch scientists claim they have completed the first sequencing of an individual woman's DNA.
The researchers at Leiden University Medical Center reported the sequencing of the entire genome of one of their female researchers, clinical geneticist Marjolein Kriek.
"If anyone could properly consider the ramifications of knowing his or her sequence, it is a clinical geneticist,” Professor Gert-Jan B. van Ommen, leader of the research team and director of the Center for Medical Systems Biology, said in a news release issued Monday.
