Description:
At a White House ceremony on 26 June, two scientific groups, one funded by the government and the other privately funded, announced that they have generated a nearly complete readout of the 3.1 or so billion nucleotides in the human genome. The White House ceremony was more than a celebration; it was also designed to heal a split in the research community. The ceremony brought together leaders of the rival groups in a kind of truce, cooling off a competition that had grown intense in recent months.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marshall, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Jun 30;288(5475):2294-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10917817" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
