Correspondence with Jim Mullikin, Francis Collins, Arthur Holden, and David Bentley regarding Celera reads vs latest public reads for SNPs. They hoped to keep track of SNP rates to help with future negotiations, especially with a potential agreement between TSC and ABI. Francis also hoped to question the access to the cSNPs that ABI/Celera were generating at the time.

Scope and Contents Documents regarding the use of Celera SNPs. This includes correspondence between Jean McEwen and NHGRI regarding the ELSI issue of TSC's proposal to use Celera SNPs to obtain additional coverage for the HapMap with their HapMap ELSI/Populations Group, and a Celera investigation after a potential breach of the IRB protocol, as well as a response from Celera president Paul Calabresi. The group was unanimous that it would not be appropriate to use such SNPs. Additionally, there is a Volunteer...
