Are you going to sequence me? ;-) Well, Roald, is it working? Are you going to sequence me? ;-)

An Aarhusian/Scandinavian genome is probably not the most exiting news since the Caucasian population is extensively mapped through the HapMap project and soon also through the 1000 genomes project. The Arab population, on the other hand, is not extensively characterized genetically and is located in the part of the world where we believe that some of the earliest human migrations occurred. Thus, I would expect more novel genetic information from an Arab than from an Aarhusian genome. Basically, I think that this is just an attempt on your side to be sequenced without coughing up some money (pun intended) ;-) I admit that I am biased here Thomas, but I think that you are being too cynical.
