Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In the panel discussion this afternoon, you asked a representative of the National Science Foundation [NSF] how, given that environmental genomics is a multidisciplinary field, the foundation plans to encourage researchers who do not have the needed biological, genomics, and computational skills to use the new tools becoming available. When you add to that Ham Smith's work on the first restriction enzymes, and then the work Ham and I did together for sequencing the first genome, the collection covers the period from before the structure of DNA was known to the sequencing of the human genome. The competition to sequence the human genome brought genomic science to the lay public and so is seen in that context.
