Genome science ... will revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases.
CNN: Leaders say discovery must be linked to responsible use
The medical benefits of genome science, they agreed, must be used to benefit all people, not only a privileged few.

Sir Mark says genome science has also led to improvements in the diagnosis and categorisation of inherited diseases and treatments for inherited forms of diabetes, based on a patient's genetic makeup.
Now fast-forward to May of last year, when Venter and his team reported in Science (The Creation of a Bacterial Cell Controlled by a Chemically Synthesized Genome in Science), the successful generation of a cell directed entirely by a synthetic genome, programmed from a computer and synthesized piece by piece.
He said Gore had a keen grasp of emerging issues including technology, the science of the human genome, global warming, and privacy.
In 1993, Kary Mullis won a Nobel Prize for discovering PCR, and several widespread efforts, including the Human Genome Project, have used the science to compile their databases.
Until now, the study of the human genome has been the field of esoteric science and outsized egos.
Those behind the project were inspired by the way that the sharing of information gleaned by the Human Genome project has spurred the acceleration of genetic science.
BBC: World's most detailed scans will reveal how brain works
Over nine months, Celera has spearheaded one of the great discoveries in the history of science, the sequencing of the human genome.
The more accurate map of his genome, published Tuesday in The Public Library of Science, an online journal, is most important because it is going to help scientists make many more such maps--and because it opens the door to people being willing to have their genome's sequenced.
The centre will integrate expertise in cell biology, mass spectrometry, proteomics, "big-data" analytics, drug discovery and computer science to exploit the potential of the human genome project for healthcare and the development of safer drugs.
BBC: Dundee University awarded ?700,000 for DNA data project
Additionally, in order to reduce the time to develop and deploy advanced materials, a Materials Genome Initiative is being launched today, and the National Science and Technology Council has released a white paper on that effort.

But the sequencing of the human genome, an example of the power of industrial-scale science, inspired him, and he wanted to fund something similar.

The goats represent a promising new avenue in the controversial field of transgenics, the science of splicing one species' genes onto the genome of another.
Given the recent unravelling, by the Pasteur Institute in France, of the genome of Mycobacterium leprae, the organism that causes the disease, science is better poised to carry out such research than ever before.
The Plant Genome Research Road Map, as it's called, was unveiled at the Indian Science Congress in Chandigarh.
But one genome pioneer is taking the opposite approach: imitating the open-source movement of computer science, which argues that technology works best when it is given away for free so that everyone can collaborate on it.
Researchers at the Allen Institute For Brain Science have completed their four year task of mapping the brain based on all known parts of the genome.
Once the finished genome was inserted into the genome-free bacteria, the work regressed to the sort of microbiology that would have been familiar to the science's 19th-century pioneers.
So, in another laboratory on the other side of the science park, its researchers are working on ways of integrating the thousands of nanopores needed to read a genome in a day.
