Omics! Omics! offers a thoughtful post on the era of full genome sequencing. Blogger Keith Robison considers the decade-old field, noting some of its successes and excitement -- and taking a moment to lay out some of the missing pieces among sequenced organisms. He also refers to a post at the Evolgen blog, which published the rumor that NHGRI will no longer be accepting white papers to sequence full genomes. While there's no definitive answer on the NHGRI's stance, the post did spark a lively conversation on the merit of finished genome sequences and the state of funding.
