The researchers, along with other scientists across the world, are now working to sequence the completegenome of other close relatives to humans, including gorillas and orangutans.
Further more exome sequencing is a questionable working model as companies will now be able to sequence a completegenome at a lower cost than one utilizing array exome capture and potential bias, why a company would offer that as the preferred service is odd.
"Our ability to grow Plasmodium in the fruit fly is especially fortunate because scientists recently determined the completesequence of the Drosophila genome, " says Dr Shahabuddin.
