Abstract:
In the past few years, striking advances have been made in automating DNA sequence analysis. Currently, efforts are underway to automate and improve DNA purification, mapping, and data processing procedures. The predictable advances in these technologies should soon place us in a position to sequence the entire human genome. The information derived from this project will have profound implications for basic biology and clinical medicine alike.
