Analysis in public and private Human Genome Projects, Eric Lander
Description:
Interviewee: Eric Lander.
Eric Lander talks about analysis in public and private Human Genome Projects.
Transcript:
It was an irony in a way, that after all the fuss over a whole genome shotgun, the entire analysis in both the public project and the Celera paper was on a clone-by-clone approach, using the public project's map as the foundation for assembly.
