Sequencing Beta-Globin

Yesterday our Thalassaemia research has crossed an important milestone, it may be a small step in our project yet it is the very first and utterly significant stride towards achieving our ultimate goal.

We have successfully sequenced a region of Beta-globin from a healthy individual. We don't yet have the sequence in our hand, expecting to have it in a while. I'm quite excited!!! Can't wait anymore....
