The New Genomics: Global Views of Biology

Lander, Eric S.·1996·Science

Abstract

What will happen after a complete sequence of the human genome is available? Eric Lander argues that it will be the beginning of a new phase of research. He presents 10 goals for the future that are related to a global view of biology. The author is at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and the Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Genome-wide association studies have demonstrated that the common disease-common variant hypothesis of human diseases is broadly true, where disease risk is driven by many common variants, each explaining a small fraction of risk in a population.

    “These studies have demonstrated that the common disease–common variant hypothesis of human diseases29 is broadly true, where disease risk is driven by many common variants, each of which explains a small fraction of the risk in a population.”

    From Genome‐wide association studies of multiple sclerosis (2018) · cites this paper as [29]

  • Linkage analyses in extended multiple sclerosis affected families validated the HLA association but showed no significant linkage to loci outside the MHC.

    “These validated the HLA association but showed no significant linkage to loci outside the MHC.”

    From Genome‐wide association studies of multiple sclerosis (2018) · cites this paper as [29]

  • The common disease-common variant hypothesis has been refuted by the missing heritability problem.

    “When GWAS began the field was dominated by the simple common disease-common variant (CD-CV) hypothesis1–4 has been refuted in light of the so-called ‘missing heritability problem’”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
