By Jeffrey M. Perkel Sequencing On Target Techniques for pulling out and sequencing selected areas of the genome It's time for a genomics reality check. Despite the constant, glowing coverage of speedy, low-cost next-generation DNA sequencing, whole-genome analysis, and consumer genomics, researchers still have no idea what the vast majority of human genomic DNA does, nor the functional consequence of variations in those sequences. Thus, few researchers
