CONTACT:Sven Friedemann
DESCRIPTION:The presenter will give a brief summary on research related to
  human genomes\, from the announcement of the completion of the first huma
 n genome about a decade ago\, to some current genomic projects where thous
 ands of human genomes are decoded. The presenter will describe a newly pub
 lished paper where statistical imputation could be used to infer genotypes
 \, at a tiny fraction of the cost for whole genome sequencing. It will dem
 onstrate how computation and statistics are driving biological science. Fi
 nally\, the presenter will propose a research idea for the University of C
 ambridge students to lead a CamGenome project where each person could cont
 riute his/her health data and genome sequence for advancing knowledge of s
 cience and our own health.
