Perspectives

GENOMICS:
On Choosing Mammalian Genomes for Sequencing

Stephen J. O'Brien, Eduardo Eizirik, William J. Murphy

With the human genome sequenced and the genome of the mouse almost complete, which mammalian species are next in line to have their genomes sequenced? In their Perspective, O'Brien and colleagues debate the many criteria that could be used to select the next lucky mammal to have the secrets of its genome decoded.
