"Inside the Human Genome"

Below, a review of evolutionary geneticist John Avise's  "Inside the Human Genome" (a book which notes that in studying the human genome one is struck more by its UNintelligent design, than the intelligent design so heavily touted):

Some Personal Genomics Links

Personal genomics will undoubtedly be an integral part of human lives at some point in the future; maybe more quickly than some anticipate. Blog entry below that points to some recent readings worth a gander on the 'net:

Okay So You're 98% Chimpanzee... and 8% Virus

New research indicates that as much as 8% of the human genome derives from inserted bornavirus genomic material (different from previously-known retrovirus insertions), which may be a causative factor in various psychiatric disorders:

Quality In Genomic Sequencing

As newer sequencing technologies allow for "quick and dirty draft genomes," article HERE raises concerns about the quality of genomic sequencing and recommends standards for future reporting.
