Identifier: NE0102

Scope and Contents

CNN news report on the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins and Craig Venter profiled as racing towards same goal in a different way.  Collins sees maping genome as goal, Venter sees it as the starting line, explanation of chromosones, DNA, genes; how DNA is deciphered; Collins and Venter show different methods; issues with patenting genetic sequences (Venter's company), while government wants to kepe everything freely available (Collins); Bill Haseltine also supports patents, and is developing new gene-based drugs; discussion of genetic discrimination and need for Congress to pass laws to protect privacy of genetic information; concern about potential to alter "nature's plan"; McLaughlin talks about DNA; genetic engineering, human genomes, and what's ahead; speaks with Francis Collins and Eric LanderCNN news report on the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins and Craig Venter profiled as racing towards same goal in a different way.  Collins sees maping genome as goal, Venter sees it as the starting line, explanation of chromosones, DNA, genes;

Dates

  • Creation: Majority of material found within 1990 - 2010

Conditions Governing Access

The majority of the materials within this finding aid have been digitized by the History of Genomics team. That being said, there are several instances where materials were either damaged or were in poor condition. In these cases we cannot guarantee the availability or accessibility of all materials.

Some materials may contain sensitive information or personally identifiable information (PII), in which case we cannot guarantee full unfettered access upon request. The History of Genomics Team will work to make a determination on a case by case basis as to the access of materials.
