Gao, how early can we know this Thursday's Nature's contents? According to WSJ Tue (bottom box) Chrm 21 news:
"The NIH announcement came 3 days b4 CRA's data are to be published in ... Nature." Can u guess what they mean by "CRA's data"?
I thought CRA would publish their genome draft in Science, while HGP's would be in Nature. Maybe we can call CRA's IR to figure that out.

"The Sunday NY Times reports on the contentious competition between the Human Genome Project and Celera Corp as they head down the human genome home stretch. According to the report each side,attempting to pre-empt the other, is negotiating with a scientific journal to publish the completed human genome- and that each side may be readying an announcement-
"The two teams are negotiating with rival journals to publish their descriptions of the genome -- the consortium with Nature of London, Celera with Science of Washington. Despite the customary scientific practice of waiting for publication until announcing a new discovery, the two sides are likely to issue claims of
success well before their articles appear in print.
To pre-empt Celera's article in Science, the consortium may hope to enlist Mr. Clinton and Mr. Blair again in an announcement, perhaps early next month, that it has achieved its rough draft of the human genome.
To pre-empt the consortium's declaration of victory, Dr. Venter may make it known, perhaps this week, that he has successfully assembled the human genome, the final stage in decoding and in principle a large step ahead of the rough draft stage reached by the consortium." nytimes.com "
