Good background information, including this little tidbit that I wasn't aware of: Both sides announced milestones along the way. Most notably, the public genome project published a paper in December that said it had for the first time deciphered the genetic code of an entire human chromosome. But, in fact, large areas of chromosome 22 were not sequenced at all. latimes.com Really is an exciting little war. Of course, the consortium doesn't stand a chance against Venter. Cute little sayings like "If people want to view it as a race, it is a race to the starting line" speak volumes to the confidence he has and the implications of the race. With the implications being of course that the loser goes home and won't even be a contender in the 100 year race! Also, article suggests that loss of public funding is at stake for consortium.
