Life Script: How the Human Genome Discoveries Will Transform Medicine and Enhance Your Health Hardcover - 2001

by Nicholas Wade


From the publisher

A leading New York Times science reporter, who has covered the Human Genome Project from its inception, writes about how the sequencing of the genome is already changing medical care.

First line

wealth, in the belief if that medical advance would be speediest if all biologists had full and free access to the human genome sequence. But in May 1998, almost eight years after the public consortium had begun to lay the technical groundwork and was within sight of success, a commercial enterprise headed by J. Craig Venter jumped into the fray with the goal of decoding the human genome as a profit-making venture.
