[DIYbio] Genome conference 2012 and Personal Genome Project python & data download

The Personal Genome Project must be the open science project producing the largest quantity of open data in the history of mankind.  Apparently in the next few months, there will around a hundred people with maintained human cell lines, and their full genomic sequences will soon follow (reference: http://chirpstory.com/li/6877 ).  To paraphrase:  PGP will sequence about a dozen human genomes per month.   This is a feast of data for computational bio projects.  It also means I'll be immortalized in a test tube :-D which is quite cute.  (Perhaps I might survive the zombie apocalypse?)
