First female genome is sequenced - Dr Marjolein Kriek!
At last one for the girls!
… Geneticists at Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) are the first to determine the DNA sequence of a woman. She is also the first European whose DNA sequence has been determined
The DNA is that of Dutch scientist Dr Marjolein Kriek, a clinical geneticist at LUMC. “If anyone could properly consider the ramifications of knowing his or her sequence, it is a clinical geneticist,”says professor Gert-Jan B van Ommen, leader of the LUMC team.
Now we have a new ‘Watson and Kriek’ to compare genetic diversity!

Hi,
Sorry to contact you in this way but I noticed you write about health and wondered if you would like to receive free new releases that you may wish to blog about on your site.
If you would send me an email telling what areas of interest you have and if you have any geographical focus.
Best Wishes,
Chrissy
