Centre Director Peter Donnelly was interviewed on the Today Programme on Radio 4 on Thursday 19 September 1013, in a package that also featured Regius Professor of Medicine Sir John Bell talking about the promise of 'big data' research projects in finding new approaches to disease.
Over 50 scientists from nine European institutes, including the WTCHG, have measured gene expression by sequencing RNA in human cells from 462 individuals from the the 1000 Genomes Project. Manuel Rivas, Matti Pirinen, Peter Donnelly and Mark McCarthy contributed to the analysis of rare variants of particular medical significance. The study is published in Nature online.
