The first step is to sequence 1 percent of each volunteer's genome, focusing on the so-called exome — the protein-coding regions that, Church suspects, do 90 percent of the work in our DNA.

A Yale team led by Murat Gunel has already used partial genome sequencing of the 1.5 percent of the genome, called the exome, that codes for proteins to determine the cause of a mysterious and still unnamed genetic disease that results in severe brain malformations.

Your genome is the sequence of all your DNA; your exome is a subset of your genome that contains the part of the DNA that codes for the genes.

In their study, the team used a new type of genomics technology called exome sequencing to find the mutation in the valosin-containing protein VCP gene, which has been described as a molecular "chaperone" aiding various cellular activities such as protein breakdown.

The Sanger Institute (where I work) has formally announced the launch of the UK10K Project, which will sequence the whole genomes of 4,000 people at low coverage, as well as sequencing all of the protein-coding genes (collectively known as the exome) of a further 6,000 people.
