Human genomics: The end of the start for population sequencing.

The article discusses the 1000 Genomes Project, an effort to study genetic variation in the human population. It references two papers published by the project elsewhere in the journal. Details on the project's findings regarding structural variants and variants in individual bases are presented. Particular focus is given to the project's implications for the future of population sequencing. Topics include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and population sampling.
