Human DNA Sampling and Banking

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Principles and Practice ((PRINCIPLES))

Abstract

The first era of DNA research, from the discovery of DNA itself by Friedrich Miescher in 1869 (Harbers 1969) to the completion of the human genome sequencing project scheduled for the year 2005 (Table 2.1), is about to end. The argument put forward in this chapter is that the existing DNA sampling and storing techniques were set up to satisfy different goals and needs than those that will be required in the forth coming era of genomics and of large-scale population genetics. The human genome diversity project aims at the definition and explanation of every polymorphism, every rare or sporadic germ-line or somatic mutation, every Mendelian, polygenic or complex disease and every inherited phenotypic trait on a global scale (Cavalli-Sforza et al. 1991; Kidd et al. 1993; Cavalli-Sforza 1998; Weiss 1998). Such projects may seem immense today but so did the various genome projects a few years ago. Research for high-throughput analytical methodologies is producing most encouraging results. There are already analytical techniques for genotyping several thousands of individuals per technician per day (Day et al. 1998) and DNA extraction is becoming a bottleneck of progress.
