Researchers Use 454 Life Sciences Sequencing to Publish the Complete Genome of an Individual Human, Achieving a Key Milestone on the Path to Personalized Genome Sequencing

BRANFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--454 Life Sciences, a centre of excellence of Roche Applied Science, today announced that researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and 454 have published the complete DNA sequence and analysis of an individual human diploid genome. The genome was analyzed using the 454 Sequencing technology to 7.4 redundancy, facilitating a detailed comparison against the publicly available reference human sequence. The study, entitled “The complete genome of an individual by massively parallel DNA sequencing” appears today in the journal Nature.
