Genome Sequencing

The Scientist has a good review of genome sequencing (coming from a more biomedical perspective). I tend to present genomics from an evolutionary angle (rather than functional). This is a good read if you're not too familiar with the field, and all you know about genomics is what I've told you.

God bless complexity! The emergence of complexity, that can't be derived from underlying structures and functions, was forecasted by Steve Gould as the main problem that the genome project was going to face in the future. Going from genes to cells is a leap of several leyers of biological hierarchy. Good luck.
