The 1000 Genomes Project is to be carried out by an international consortium including the Wellcome Trust’s Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, the US National Human Genome Research Institute, and the Beijing Genomics Institute in China. The estimated cost is between $30m (£15m; 20m) and $50m. A thousand volunteers have already been recruited from Africa, Asia, America, and Europe. They have given informed consent for their DNA to be analysed and placed in public databases. The donors are anonymous and will not have any of their medical information collected because the project is developing a basic resource to provide information on genetic variation. The catalogue that is developed will be used by researchers in many future studies of people with particular . . .
