http://bettong.net/tag/article.rss en-us 40 <p>A while ago I found a link to a <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/311/5759/392">Science article</a> on the sequencing of part of the mammoth genome on <a href="http://www.bioinformaticsblog.org/23">Stephen Rudd&#8217;s blog</a> . The article itself is quite technical and therefore not the most interesting read ever, but it&#8217;s interesting to know how far you can get with sequencing the genome of an extinct species. After all they managed to sequence 3,000,000bp.</p> <p>Also, you get to read the words <em>metagenomics</em> and <em>paleogenomics</em>. Which might either make you run away screaming or inspire you to create new ones (anyone for meta-paleo-metabolomics? Submission of better (i.e. longer and less comprehensible) ones now open)). ;-)</p> Sat, 04 Feb 2006 16:56:00 +0000 urn:uuid:4bd13837-1eee-420c-97a9-0ddba5539e72 urban@bettong.net (Urban Hafner) http://bettong.net/2006/02/04/large-scale-sequencing-of-mammoth-dna#comments genomics metagenomics paleogenomics sequencing mammoth science bioinformatics paleontology article http://bettong.net/2006/02/04/large-scale-sequencing-of-mammoth-dna
