Personal Genome Project
The Personal Genome Project (PGP) is a wide-scale genome sequencing effort led by Harvard Medical School's George Church. The PGP's mission is to encourage the development of personal genomics technology, with an end goal of sequencing 100,000 individuals.
The first PGP project involved finding 10 (termed the "PGP-10") informed members of the scientific and medical communities who would have their genomes sequenced and the data made available to the public.
The PGP is now recruiting 10,000 participants from the public who are willing to publicly share their genome sequence and health and medical data.
