    This video was created with support from the U.S. Office of Research Integrity: ori.hhs.gov.
    In 1990, The Human Genome Project proposed to sequence the entire human genome over 15 years with $3 billion of public funds. Then, seven years before its scheduled completion, a private company called Celera announced that they could accomplish the same goal in just three years at a fraction of the cost. Tien Nguyen details the history of this race to sequence the human genome.
    Lesson by Tien Nguyen, animation by Boico Visual House.

    Few others facts that should get mentioned with this. Not only did Celera work off of publicly available HGP to complete their sequence but C. Venter (who started that project) later admitted he swapped out all the other human DNA samples half way through the sequencing for his own, thus reducing the value of that sequence in mapping variations in the human genome due to diseases etc. He also attempted to then sell genetic information, an effort that he later abandoned as HGP was after all, public. If you were a researcher, HGPs sequences were not only available online, but you could order samples of bacteria carrying the pieces of the entire library, a process that was (and is today) is essential in many of the genomic experiments looking to isolate a specific gene or sequence for whatever reason. He undoubtedly accelerated the pace of HGPs research and props had to be given to him for that, and even later selling of the info can be seen as an effort to recoup some costs to the private company that funded the project, but alone, his effort would have been infinitely slower, less accurate, and far less stimulating to worldwide academic research and many wondered why he hadn't simply pitched in and helped the existing effort of the HGP rather than striking it out alone. Still, a very good short on DNA sequencing race. I remember this being hotly debated when I was in grad school.

    It's such a generous approach to make an international collaboration with an open sharing of technology, so typical of the idealism of the 1990's. This was followed by the far more competitive wave starting near 1998, where it became more like everyone out for themselves, and whatever you can do I can do better type of attitudes which alienates people into jealous, competitive factions. So interestingly, I was born in 1990, when the Human Genome Project began, and my little brother was born in 1998, when Celera began to challenge it, and in a funny sort of way, my relationship with my little brother's paralleled greatly the ambitious and underhanded ways Celera attempted to overtake the Human Genome Project but failed miserably. Selfish, vain-ambitions don't pay, people. Even if Celera won, and I'm glad it didn't, we all know they couldn't have done it without massive help, unthanked for and unacknowledged by Celera with their smug founder, that they got from the Human Genome Project. So open sharing, international collaboration: 1. Self-centered, risk taking private interests: 0. As it should be.

    I am absolutely impressed and garteful for such short clips on free social media platforms! I am writing my first essay for university about the HGP and it has to focus on various topics like the competetive race among the HGC and Celera Genomics but also about the different possible procedures they used for sequencing. The only points that are missing are the discussions about the emerged ethical issues but there must be some comprehensive informations about these topics somewhere too :-))))

    This history of the race to sequence the human genome does not mention that Celera could initially sequence faster than the public initiative because of their collaboration with Applied Biosytems which had invented a sequencer that was 10X faster than existing sequencers being used by the public project. Eventually, public labs started purchasing the faster sequencers so the whole project was completed well ahead of the initial 15 yr public plan .

      Private sector lost, patented every gene it could, didn't share findings. Public sector gave us space travel, nuclear power, the Internet and human genome. Private companies just exploit the discoveries. Collaboration and cooperation is the way forward. Competitions is a waste of resources.

    The video is pretty misleading. It paints a very rosy picture of the two projects. The reality was that the private company did not do it because they were nice or looking out for the good of humanity. They wanted to patent every possible gene they could to profit off future medical procedures. As they patented more and more genes, the public group had to go through a web of bureaucracy that cost valuable time and tax dollars. Private companies are out for profit. That is it. Putting profit before human decency and scientific integrity, they almost prevented the free access to the genome at all. The reason why the public sector published their findings so fast was to prevent further patents. It became a necessity as failing to do so would lock the information forever away. Sad that people are this way, but at least something good came out of it.

    • @scottgreenstone8144
      @scottgreenstone8144 2 роки тому +1

      The public effort had no need for such patents and didn't have to jump through any hoops to publish their results. They just didn't want others to be restricted by Celera's patents. But, yes Celera wanted to patent their discoveries, but that profit motive got the science completed a lot earlier than the government effort. Without a profit motive, we'd be much farther behind in new medical discoveries than we are now which means many more lives would've been lost without it.
