1.   An idea enshrined in many textbooks is that the whole genome of early animals has twice been duplicated to form the vertebrate lineage.

2.   Combining the powerful equipment with an army of robots and vast amounts of computing power makes it practical and cost-effective to sequence whole genomes, Dr. Venter said.

3.   Curiously, the free will story brings us to cancer, which is where the whole genome project started.

4.   First Celera disclosed its fruit fly results, proving the effectiveness of its whole genome shotgun strategy.

5.   He invited Venter to a meeting and told him he thought it might be possible to sequence the whole genome.

6.   Lander views his concept of a whole genome chip as more a diagnostic than a predictive tool.

7.   Other scientists say the dispute demonstrates another reason for sequencing the whole genome.

8.   The new technology allows researchers to scan whole genomes in hours as opposed to weeks or months.

9.   The stage the consortium has now reached is that all its BACs are mapped, making the whole genome available in a nested set of smaller jigsaw puzzles.

10.   Celera used a technique called the whole genome shotgun strategy, while the public consortium used a modified version that mapped the genome in a series of small segments.
