The genome 10

Researchers at Harvard Medical School, led by genetics professor George Church, are mapping the complete genomes of 10 people, including Church and one person who has chosen to remain anonymous. All 10 will be made public beginning this fall, with the idea of adding hundreds if not thousands more as soon as possible.

The others:

Misha Angrist, scientific editor at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy in Durham, N.C.

Dr. Keith Batchelder, CEO at Genomic Healthcare Strategies.

Esther Dyson, investor and adviser to multiple technology firms, author of many articles on technology and the book "Release 2.0" (1997).

Rosalynn Gill-Garrison, chief science officer at Sciona, a Colorado-based company that uses genetic information to develop individualized healthcare and nutrition advice.

Dr. John Halamka, chief information officer at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Stanley Lapidus, chief executive officer of Helicos, a Cambridge-based company developing genetic sequencing technologies.

Dr. Kirk Maxey, president of Cayman Chemical, a company in Ann Arbor, Mich., that makes biochemical products, largely for scientific research.

Dr. James Sherley, stem cell researcher and associate professor, formerly of MIT.
