And the war continues to rage between Celera and the Human Genome Project.....privately funded vrs publicly funded. Its interesting to watch really. The Human Genome Project is the publicly-funded side of this war, and it seems to me that although their sequencing methods are slower than Celera's, they are the side that is really interested in the science of the project. Celera, the privately-funded side, seems to me to be all about the capitalism that can be created from the project...they charge for their database information whereas the HGP offers theirs for free. But overall, it is all science really, because science entails competing to produce notable results first. So who are you supporting? The side that took longer but is more accurate, or the side that took half the time, but who's data is questionable?
