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.
