Nature paper about the full sequencing of James Watson's genome. Note a later correction in the data.
CSHL has a genome browser interface for Watson's data at jimwatsonsequence.cshl.edu.
His promethease report is based on his 1.8M snps. During the initial June 1 2008 analysis only 570 of his snps had SNPedia annotations, far less than the ~1500 we'd know if he'd been run on a 23andMe microarray. Currently ~1200 snps are annotated while the latest 23andMe chip has ~2900 annotated snps. These lower counts despite the full genome appears to be due to an upstream decision to leave out snps in their 'normal' form. It would be helpful to have the full set, but regenerating it from the fasta files is left for another time. While some of the snps are of questionable confidence, his sequence gives a first look at human haplotypes.
