I know that we have NCBI etc. but couldn't someone construct something close to the Yeast Genome Data Base for the human genome??? This site rocks.
(P.S. Yes probably ENSEMBL is the best pan genome bioinformatics gateway, I'm exploring it now. Hmm. So is my favorite gene in platypus???)

During these past couple of weeks, we've been comparing mitochondrial DNA sequences from humans and great apes, in order to see how similar the sequences are.
Last week, I got distracted by finding a copy of a human mitochondrial genome, that somehow got out of a mitochondria, and got stuck right…
Spiegel has a wonderful interview with Venter. The more I hear from Venter, the more I like him; he's very much a no-BS sort of fellow. He's the guy who really drove the human genome project to completion, and he's entirely open about explaining that its medical significance was grossly overstated…

If it is not, then you ought to change your favorite gene! Or splice it into platypus; anyway, the poor beast can't possibly get weirder :-)
Thanks for the link; yeast can certainly brag about the site at model organisms' parties.
If you retire the republican offence to the Mighty Yeast, Who-every-can-in-genetics, we could be magnanimous and share our database with you, poor cell culture

I don´t know too much about human genome, but i supousse that the organization problem is huge compared to a eukaryote without introns, with little non-transcriptioned DNA, and five less ORFs.
Just wait until you see the new flybase...
