The two separate projects have actually given scientists two different mappings of the genome sequence, which will prove useful as contrasts and comparisons can be made between them and eventual convergence made. Where the divisions start to appear is over the divulging of data into the public domain. Celera originally stood to make its money through charging for access to its data; but peer pressure drove it to publish its findings in Science. The publishing of the genome sequence in the public arena is the principle upheld by the United Nations; it is after all humanity's common heritage. Anyway, Celera will still make money from other sources closely linked to the mapping of the genome through activities such as licensing software, subscriptions, third party licensing revenue, consulting and diagnostics.

But what of the data itself, first published here? Essentially the two journals illustrate the genetic components of biological processes; and with that knowledge one can step beyond understanding the effects of individual genes to examine how groups of genes interact to form a human being. However, this work is just the beginning of a new approach to biology. Science'seditorial states: "The human genome has been called the Book of Life. Rather, it is a library, in which .]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH27486.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH27486.asp Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH18976.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH18976.asp Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH28724.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH28724.asp Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH18690.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH18690.asp Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH27208.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH27208.asp Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH41720.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH41720.asp Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH41716.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH41716.asp Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT Natural History and Science Books http://www.maggs.com/title/NH21356.asp http://www.maggs.com/title/NH21356.asp Life becomes harder as we grow older because we are using up hope.
