The Celebrity Genome Debate Rages On

Jason Bobe over at The Personal Genome has a great post this week called “False Alarm: The Celebrity Meme” about the use of ‘famous’ scientists in early genome sequencing.  He poses a number of interesting and thought-provoking questions about the topic.  Make sure you read the comments that others have left.  Hsien at EyeonDNA wrote so much that she made her answers a full-length post.

The subject is traveling all over the blogosphere.  The Rocketfish Manifesto addresses personal genome sequencing with a little bit of humor.  And John Hawks’ Anthropology Weblog has a lengthy post with some new insights.  There is a lot of great reading material available if you’re interested in the Personal Genome Project.
