    This collection of essays, some of which are specifically autobiographical, is in effect a sequel to The Double Helix. They are bound to send the reader hustling to TDH for a reread, and perhaps particularly to the edition produced under the direction of Gunther Stent in 1980, with republication of the original Nature papers of 1953 and of reviews of TDH that appeared after its publication in 1968.

  • The Sequence of the Human Genome

    Open AccessJ Craig Venter, Mark D Adams et al.ARTICLEScience2001

    A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
