In-Depth Information
human genomic material limits the number of individuals
k
in possible studies to
approximately 1000, which is the size of the largest genomic database we are
aware of for which one can legally obtain samples of genomic DNA. However,
this figure of
k
= 1000 is by no means a limit on the capability of Biomolecular
Database technology. In particular, these genomic databases are quickly grow-
ing in size, and it may be projected to grow by a number of multiples in a few
years. Furthermore, military sources of human genomic DNA may be obtain-
able, providing alternate routes to obtain the samples of genomic DNA required
in large-scale studies.
