A global reference for human genetic variation
The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping. We characterized…
Successful Science Communication: Telling It Like It Is
In the 25 years since the 'Bodmer Report' kick-started the public understanding of science movement, there has been something of a revolution in science communication. However, despite the ever-growing demands of the public, policy-makers and the media, many scientists still find it difficult to successfully explain and publicise their activities or to understand and respond to people's hopes and concerns about their work. Bringing together exper…
Public Understanding of Science: The BA, the Royal Society and Copus
My involvement in the public understanding of science in the UK came through a critique of claims for a genetic basis for IQ differences between races. That led to my chairmanship of the Royal Society's Committee on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS). The main thrust of its 1985 report was directed at the need for scientists to learn how to communicate with the general public in all its guises, and to consider it a duty to do so. The for…

The Handbook of Man
The handbook of man is written in the four letter alphabet in the language of DNA. The information that matters and makes us all into what we are is equivalent to the contents of one copy of the Oxford English Dictionary, but one single misprint in the still undeciphered handbook causes severe disease. Good progress has been made for sickle cell disease and there is much promise that similar new techniques can also be applied to cancer of the col…
