Scope and Contents

Correspondence with Francis Collins, Craig Venter, Ari Patrinos, and Lynn Holland regarding a collaborative work in Science- particularly a side feature of a diagram of map-based sequencing vs. whole genome shotgun as well as diagrams highlighting some of the most useful applications of having the sequence in hand. The goal was to have more art and symbols rather than facts or data details from either of their sequencing papers. The applications included The Genome Landscape (genes, repeats, CG content), Comparative Genomics, Studying Genetic Diversity, and Medical Applications. Documents include a draft of the graphic made by Greg Schuler. Another e-mail shows Francis Collins debriefing with NHGRI staff after a meeting he had with Craig Venter in which discussed the wall chart for Science as well as Craig's discussions with Don Kennedy over data access terms. Craig expressed that the actual incorporation of Celera sequence data into the public sequence database wouldn't be allowed, but it was unclear if Celera data could be used to facilitate closure. Craig Venter also wanted NIH to encourage their grantees to subscribe to Celera, but Franics Collins couldn't do that. They also discussed drafting an outline for their joint attendance to the Allan Award Ceremony for The American Society of Human Genetics, per invitation from Kurt Kirschhorn, M.D. The invitation for this event is included in these documents.
