A private company, Celera, really put the pressure on the national and international programs by doing it first... "In the Celera Genomics private-sector project, DNA from five different individuals were used for sequencing. The lead scientist of Celera Genomics at that time, Craig Venter, later acknowledged (in a public letter to the journal Science) that his DNA was one of 21 samples in the pool, five of which were selected for use.[24][25] On September 4, 2007, a team led by Craig Venter published his complete DNA sequence,[26] unveiling the six-billion-nucleotide genome of a single individual for the first time." en.wikipedia.org
