Whereas the DNA sequence produced by the Human Genome Project in 2003 was a mosaic drawn from a number of different human genomes, the efforts by 454 Life Sciences and Illumina, which could be completed in the next few months, will be the first sequences of individual genomes. As such, they herald the era of "personalized genomics." An individual genome sequence shows the particular combination of genetic variants in an individual's DNA, allowing scientists to explore the relationship between a person's genotype and his or her biological traits. This has been done at the level of single genes for decades, but never before on the genome-wide scale.
