GATC Biotech and Complete Genomics, Inc., today announced the execution of a research collaboration agreement to sequence several human genomes from samples provided by GATC. The companies will collaborate to analyze the data obtained from the research  

The fruit fly, (Drosophila), has been used as a genetic research tool for a very long time, because of it's easily observable phenotypic differences, and adherence of many of these traits to the basic rules of Mendelian inheritance. Because of this, I always assumed, or thought I'd heard somewhere, that it was the first multicelled organism for which the entire DNA sequence was determined. This is wrong, however, and, according to the NCBI...
