TL;DR
The tools needed to break through this impasse are addressed below in the context of a Personal Genome Project (PGP) as a natural successor to the Human Genome project (HGP)—two recent buds in the ancient field of genetics.
Abstract
http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/msb4100040
Keywords
Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesGenomic sequencing.
8,227 Citations1984George M. Church, W Gilbert
The genomic sequencing procedures are applicable to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms, DNA methylation at deoxycytidines, and nucleic acid-protein interactions at single nucleotide resolution.
Nucleic Acids ResearchHuman non-synonymous SNPs: server and survey
2,311 Citations2002Vasily Ramensky
A World Wide Web server is presented to predict the effect of an nsSNP on protein structure and function and the dependence of selective pressure on the structural and functional properties of proteins is studied.
ScienceSystems Biology and New Technologies Enable Predictive and Preventative Medicine
1,117 Citations2004Leroy Hood, James R. Heath +2 more
Systems approaches to disease are grounded in the idea that disease-perturbed protein and gene regulatory networks differ from their normal counterparts; the possibility that these differences may be reflected by multiparameter measurements of the blood is pursued.
NatureMapping determinants of human gene expression by regional and genome-wide association
587 Citations2005Vivian G. Cheung, Richard S. Spielman +4 more
The present study carried out association analysis with dense sets of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from the International HapMap Project to suggest that association studies with dense SNP maps will identify susceptibility loci or other determinants for some complex traits or diseases.
ScienceMutational Analysis of the Tyrosine Phosphatome in Colorectal Cancers
524 Citations2004Zhenghe Wang, Dong Shen +18 more
Observations suggest that the mutated tyrosine phosphatases are tumor suppressor genes, regulating cellular pathways that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.
SciencePatient-Specific Embryonic Stem Cells Derived from Human SCNT Blastocysts
481 Citations2005Woo Suk Hwang, Sung Il Roh +23 more
Patient-specific, immune-matched human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are anticipated to be of great biomedical importance for studies of disease and development and to advance clinical deliberations regarding stem cell transplantation, but before clinical use of these cells can occur, preclinical evidence is required to prove that transplantation of differentiated NT-hESC can be safe, effective, and tolerated.
Genome biologyThe amino-acid mutational spectrum of human genetic disease
202 Citations2003Dennis Vitkup, Chris Sander +1 more
The overall disease spectrum mainly reflects the mutability of the genetic code and corroborate earlier results that the probability of a nonsynonymous mutation causing a genetic disease increases monotonically with an increase in the degree of evolutionary conservation of the mutation site and a decrease in the solvent-accessibility of the site.
Science and Engineering EthicsIndividual, family, and societal dimensions of genetic discrimination: A case study analysis
169 Citations1996Lisa N. Geller, Joseph S. Alper +4 more
The increasing development and utilization of genetic tests will likely result in increased genetic discrimination in the absence of contravening measures.
HypertensionVitamin D Intake and Risk of Incident Hypertension
132 Citations2005John P. Forman, Heike A. Bischoff‐Ferrari +3 more
It is concluded that higher intake of vitamin D is not associated with a lower risk of incident hypertension, and an inverse relation between vitamin D and blood pressure is suggested.
New England Journal of MedicineHealth-Information Altruists — A Potentially Critical Resource
111 Citations2005Isaac S. Kohane, Russ B. Altman
The authors offer a proposal to increase participation in genetic studies by increasing the availability of people willing to share their phenotypic information along with their genotyping information.
Molecular Systems BiologyFrom systems biology to synthetic biology
54 Citations2005George M. Church
Five unalienable rights of seers are recognized—to search, check, design, merge, and share (in electronic media).
Computers in health carePatientSite: Patient-Centered Communication, Services, and Access to Information
22 Citations2004Daniel Z. Sands, John Halamka
Healthcare providers are not meeting the needs of online consumers and Internet users were almost as likely to turn to the Internet for healthcare information as they were their physician.
ScienceNot Wicked, Perhaps, but Tacky
18 Citations2002Donald Kennedy
I thought I might write an editorial about research ethics, but because my attention was diverted to recent events of a somewhat different kind, there are some recent actions or events that qualify as tacky.
